Candidate for
Member, Board of Education; Croton-Harmon Union Free School District

Candidate's Statement: "My goal for the district is straightforward: I seek to maintain the quality of our educational system by making it more economically sustainable. Both the village and educational community will have to come together for this to happen.

"Together, we need to advocate on every legislative level to keep costs contained and for all the funding we can possibly get; together, we need to keep a close eye on each expenditure; together, we must explore new ways to save, such as increased sharing of services on a local and county level and new funding sources; and finally, together we must mine the incredible talents and resources that the Croton community already offers.

"To achieve these goals, the school board must communicate effectively with the village and educational community using a variety of means and many different avenues. My skills and experience would make me an effective board member in this regard.

"The future welfare of our nation, our community, and our families depends upon the education that we provide to our children today. As a member of your school board, I will do all I can to insure the quality of that education. "
