Saucon Valley is a top-ranked district but we can do better. We have upgraded our buildings and approved new programs to improve how our kids learn math and English. New programs are important but so is keeping taxes low. Our taxes are the lowest in the county and I am committed to keeping it that way: the best education at the best price.

As a firm believer in public education for ALL kids with all socio-economic backgrounds, an educator myself, and parent of 2 school aged kids, I think access to best quality of education is paramount in a thriving society.
