In Your Opinion: Vote For LaCorte, Singh And Jackson For BOE

By David Burns.

Several years ago I was elected to the Franklin Township Board of Education.

Before I ran, I told myself that, with my experience as an educator and my personal stake in public education (our twin daughters were enrolled), I could help make a contribution to raising standards, achieving better academic outcomes, and improving the “return on investment” that I and my fellow residents were making in the public school system. 

I’d like to think that I had some modest success. But that’s hard to measure.  What I do know for sure is that I learned a lot from service on the Board. I hope to share some of what I learned with you in this letter.
