To the Editor:

We enthusiastically support Rebecca Cox and Martha Land for election to the Princeton Regional Schools (PRS) Board of Education.

Rebecca Cox has served on the school board for six years. As the president during the last two years, Rebecca has steered the board through significant positive changes. She is a creative problem solver with fastidious attention to detail, and the highest standards for improvement and achievement for our staff and students. Her accomplishments and valuable contributions as a board member are truly too numerous to list. As well as a dedicated public servant, Rebecca is a public school parent and graduate of Princeton High. Her deep commitment to our schools and students is unquestionable.

Martha Land is also a public school parent, with two children at Princeton High and one at Community Park. Since moving to Princeton almost a decade ago, Martha has dedicated much of her life to improving access to educational opportunities for all our children. She has been an energetic fundraiser for PTOs and athletic boosters, and for five years has served on the board of Fund 101, which annually raises scholarship funds for Princeton High School graduates. Her command of governance and financial stewardship and her experience working for our students in our schools will allow Martha a smooth transition to school board duties. As a veteran fundraiser, nonprofit board member, and advocate for all our kids, Martha approaches her work with thoughtful pragmatism, great personal warmth and humor.
