Why are you running for the Board of Education?
My family and I moved to Long Valley because of the school district, and we have tried to get involved and give back. I want to help where I can be useful, listen carefully, and contribute thoughtfully.
What is your approach to school taxes?
I understand that school taxes matter to residents. I don’t come in with a list of cuts or a promise to lower taxes. I want to understand what the budget supports and how decisions affect students, staff, and the community.
Would you support cuts to lower costs?
I don’t have a predetermined yes or no. I’d want to understand what is already working and the effects a proposal could have on students and staff. A change is not automatically an improvement.
Can you help me find information about a Board matter?
The district’s information is available. If you have trouble finding something or have a question about it, I’m happy to point you to the right source or talk it through.
What would you bring to the Board?
A willingness to listen, keep learning, ask thoughtful questions, and help where I can. I’m not coming in with a predetermined change agenda.
