To the Editor:

I am writing to express my sincere thanks to the Princeton voters for electing me to a second term on the Board of Education. I especially look forward to working on behalf of students and families that are underrepresented in decision-making in which they are directly affected. During the campaign, I spoke with community members throughout Princeton, all of whom share a common belief that our public schools, and a commitment to quality education for all students, are a cornerstone of our town. Recent budgetary decisions eliminated teaching positions and services, which particularly impacted students of color, struggling learners, special education, and low-income students. Thanks to the trust and confidence of Princeton voters, I will begin my second term on January 6, 2020. I look forward to sharing ideas and collaborating with my fellow board members for the benefit of our community during the next three years.
