Why I am Running For the Princeton Board of Education

I am running for the Princeton Board of Education because I believe in the power of strong leadership and effective management to transform our schools. Here are the key areas on which I plan to focus:

Stabilizing the Organization with the Right Leadership

My experience in talent acquisition, especially in executive search, will be instrumental in hiring a visionary superintendent to guide our schools forward. I commend interim superintendent Dr. Kathie Foster for keeping the ship sailing while being a balanced voice in a sea of opinions. However, it is time for us to move toward a vision that will elevate our school district to new heights and move beyond the recent uncertainties and upheaval. As the first set of priorities, we need stable, long-term leadership with a clear vision to set objectives and lead us forward. True transformation requires clear communication, building alliances, and gaining the buy-in of all stakeholders. My goal is to align our efforts toward common goals under experienced and stable leadership.

Making Cost-Effective Decisions

As the cost of living in Princeton and our nation continues to rise, it is imperative that we make cost-effective decisions. Throwing money at problems doesn't always solve them. Before spending more on consultants, we should ask our talented teachers and staff, who are on the front lines and often have valuable insights for improving our schools. By tapping into this resource, we can implement practical and cost-effective measures that benefit our entire community.

Building on a Strong Foundation

I am continually impressed by the achievements of our high school students, which are  testaments to the quality of education provided at our elementary, middle, and charter schools. We are privileged to have a strong foundation. My goal is to build upon this foundation even further by stabilizing leadership, prioritizing operational efficiency, and fostering community engagement. By doing so, we can create an environment where our students and teachers thrive, ultimately benefiting the entire community.

Together, we can create a brighter future for our schools and ensure that every student in Princeton has the opportunity to succeed. Join me in this mission to elevate our school district and make a lasting positive impact.
