Supporting Mara Franceschi for Reelection to BOE Because Experience Matters
To the Editor:
I have had the pleasure of knowing Mara Franceschi since I moved to Princeton nine years ago and the opportunity of working with her as a PTO officer at Johnson Park Elementary School for many years. I am grateful for her contributions on the Board of Education and am excited to support her reelection for a second term.
Mara’s candidacy is an obvious choice to me due to her extensive experience as a Board member. She not only understands the role’s responsibilities, but embodies the leadership qualities needed to mentor new Board members over the next three years. But it is not just her experience that I find invaluable, it is her commitment and dedication to our school district that I have witnessed that garners my unwavering support. For over 14 years, she has given her time, talent and energy to our school district, children and community. Her advocacy for all children and her determination to maintain our district’s high standards sets her apart.
Mara’s background in finance is a key asset when addressing the budget. She knows how to maximize spending to benefit our children’s education and keep tax increases at a minimum. She will be thoughtful when tackling capacity challenges that our schools face due to rising enrollment, and she will remain diligent in the ongoing search for a new superintendent. These, combined with her integrity, passion, and honesty make her someone that I trust completely.
I feel fortunate to have Mara in our community and hope you will join me and vote for Mara on November 5!
