“As a small business owner and product of public education, I have a keen understanding and appreciation of the costs and benefits of investing in our school system. As a member of the Board of Education, I will ensure we spend wisely and in the best interests of our students, helping them become productive members of an ever-changing and competitive society.”

“As a volunteer in the Tolland public schools for the past five years, I have grown increasingly concerned about the diminishing resources available to our outstanding teachers, staff and students. As a new member of the Board of Education, I will seek to utilize my experience as a college administrator and commitment to a strong public school system to help our community find positive solutions to the challenges presented by recent population growth.”

“Tolland is an emerging community. As with most towns experiencing similar growth, Tolland faces challenges. Rather than sit back and view the problems from a safe distance, I am serving on the Board of Education, to take an active part in finding solutions. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve the town.”

"With my years of experience on the Board, and working with our team, I look to facilitate development of the most cost-efficient budget possible, meeting the standards for education that our community expects.  Our budget should be organized to clearly delineate the resources, programs and services that will be lost should the budget be cut.  This is the only way to ensure voters are fully informed."

"I believe public education needs to be a priority for our community, as well as our state and nation. With the economic challenges facing Tolland, my goal on the Board is to ensure the absolute best education for our students in the most cost effective way possible.”

“I am running for the Board of Education because I am concerned about the availability of programs and opportunities that our children require to be happy, healthy, and successful. Working with teachers and administrators to make sure each student’s needs are met in the most efficient manner possible, I will work to facilitate effective communication between the Board and other stakeholders, to take the mystery out of where all of our tax dollars go.”
