Voorhees 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.

The reason that I have decided to run again for the school board is because it is an honor to serve the children and families of the community. As an educator and licensed counselor, there is nothing more rewarding than having the ability to bring my skills and talents in an effort to ensure that we continue to grow and evolve our students and school community.
My top two goals are:

1. To continue to work collaboratively with my fellow board members as we select out next leader of our district.

2. To continue to use my voice and transparency when making necessary decisions.
My view on test scores is that it serves as a resource to be able to identify gaps in individual learning. I do not believe that test scores are a measurement of intelligence.
The way that we can continue to improve the safety and security of our schools is by continuing to improve and evolve our security measures when necessary.
The top 3 issues facing the schools in our district at this current time are,

1. The Hiring Process of the new Superintendent 2. Continuing to add innovative initiatives and programs hat keep our district as one of the leading districts in the South Jersey. 3. To expand our Mental Health resources.
