Creativity

The rewriting of curricula presents a clear opportunity to bring true innovation to our schools and develop a forward-looking vision for a 21st century student body.

Overcrowding

Twenty-eight percent. A whopping 28 percent of students in South Orange and Maplewood do not attend their “zoned” schools, according to the district’s own figures.

Facilities

Our children deserve a safe and healthy learning environment. For far too long, our district has neglected routine maintenance and repairs that have only gotten worse with time, and driven up the costs for future generations.

Diversity

The Black Parents Workshop, Inc., provided a questionnaire to all of the candidates for the South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education in the November 6, 2018 election. These are my responses in full as submitted.

Superintendent Search

At a recent update on the SOMSD superintendent search, Dr. William Librera highlighted some of the critical characteristics the community needs in its next educational leader.

Candidate Statement

I believe that the school district can do an even better job of communicating its goals and values, while itself achieving a higher standard of accountability and greater attention to the varied needs of its student population.
