To the Editor:

I am writing in support of Debbie Bronfeld for school board representative in the November 8 election. I met and worked with Debbie as a volunteer at the JWMS book fair years ago and have spoken to her regularly at PTO meetings over the last seven years.

I recently met again with Debbie to discuss some of the challenges facing the Princeton Public Schools over the next few years. Most importantly, how will the school system address the issue of the Town’s continuing expansion and increased school enrollment which is leading to increased class sizes, lack of space classroom space that will require eventual capital investment for new facilities and the corresponding difficulty for all students to obtain classes they want or obtain the individual attention they may need?

Debbie fully understands these challenges and her work experience in program management and budgeting at large and mid-size corporations and, over the last decade, at non-profit organizations, make her uniquely suited to represent parents and students on oversight of the Princeton Public Schools. Her concern and vision that every student in public schools receive an excellent and balanced education will allow for the continuation of the excellent public school system providing outstanding and appropriate education for all children in Princeton for years to come. I hope you will join me in voting for Debbie Bronfeld on November 8.
