"It has been my honor to serve as the Board of Education Chairman for the last four years.  During that time, we have brought our facilities up to date through improvements at Glastonbury High School, construction and opening of Nayaug Elementary School, and reducing the student population at the other elementary schools.  We have improved our curriculum and recruited an outstanding superintendent.  We have also kept our per-pupil cost among the most economical in the state." 

     "A quality school system is a measure of a quality community.  I believe it is our responsibility to continually improve our school system while keeping our schools affordable.  This protects our quality community while making sure we prepare our children to reach their potential and become productive citizens.  I ask for your support so I can continue meeting these challenges on your behalf.”
