School board membership is not for everyone. Let me recount just a few reasons.
- It takes a lot of time.
- It takes a lot of effort and can often feel like an uphill journey given the current state of education in our country.
- It’s not paid so you cannot quantify return on investment by the hour or by the bonus you collect at the end of the year.
- Perhaps most importantly, you have to be the kind of person who can take criticism and not let it deter you from moving forward.
I am a resident of Somerset, Franklin Township. I’ve called this town my home now for 21 years as I went through my journey from college student to business professional, wife and eventually a mother. Today, I have two boys who attend Franklin Township District Public Schools – a senior at Franklin High and an eighth grader at Franklin Middle Sampson G Smith Campus.
