Berlin Borough School District {_getChooseLabel(this.selections.length)}

An elected school board member serves a three-year term. The school board represents the concerns of citizens, taxpayers and parents to the school administrators, and represents the needs of the students and school district to citizens, taxpayers and parents. The school board does not operate the district on a day-to-day basis; that is the job of the superintendent (the district’s chief executive). Rather, the school board sets policies, goals and objectives for the district, and holds the superintendent responsible for implementing those policies and goals.

I am running for BOE because I want to give back to the school that shaped me to be the person I am today. I have the recent experience of sitting in these classrooms, so I know what goes on in the school already.
My top two goals would be to enhance our curriculum taught at BCS to bring students back to pre-Covid levels both in education and socially. My second goal is to keep teachers in the district as many great teachers have left in recent years.
I believe test scores are improved overall by improving the fundamentals in students at a basic level.
I believe safety measures at BCS are at the needed levels.
Social skills of students set back during Covid, Student preparedness post 8th grade graduation, and teacher retnetion in the district.
