Reflect & Re-Elect

THIS YEAR'S SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION IS CONTESTED, AND YOUR VOTE MATTERS.

I ask that you reflect on the state of Byram Hills:

BHHS is ranked #1 in Westchester County by Westchester Magazine.

84% of the senior class was accepted into Tier 1 and 2 colleges.

BH attracts and retains outstanding employees. While Westchester districts have had an average of 2 superintendents in the past 6 years, BH has had 2 superintendents over the past 12 years.

Tax levy increases have been below the tax cap for 8 of the last 9 years (by $4.1 million) while maintaining an Aaa Moody’s Rating.

REFLECT &
RE-ELECT

At the heart of Byram’s success are community members, the school board, administrators, faculty, staff, and students working collaboratively. I humbly ask you to support my re-election so that I can continue to serve with:

EXPERIENCE

9 years of board service (3 as President, 2 as VP).

RESPECT FOR COMMUNITY VOICE

Before running for the BOE, I served on the BHEF board, including 2 years as Chairman. I believe community involvement and parent feedback are critical, and I have served as school board liaison to the BHEF, PTSA, and the Town of North Castle.

COMMITMENT TO INVEST IN ALL STUDENTS

As parents, we gravitate to what impacts our kids. Maybe it’s athletics, advanced coursework, special education, or one of the district’s four schools. I take very seriously my fiduciary duty to serve all students and have supported initiatives including: enhanced security, special education, literacy, Global Scholars, Start Up, Challenge Success, international travel, new sports teams, improved athletic fields, library renovations, makers spaces, additional AP offerings, and Wampus after school activities.

FINANCIAL EXPERTISE

I serve on the Audit and Finance Advisory Committee, bringing over 20+ years of financial industry experience to the table.

A NONPARTISAN APPROACH

Society is polarized and politicized, but our schools are not. I believe in teaching kids how to think, not what to think.

REGIONAL AND STATE LEADERSHIP

Our district benefits from strong regional relationships. I am President of the Westchester Putnam School Boards Association (54 districts). I also served on the Lower Hudson Education Coalition Steering Committee (77 districts). I sit on the Investment Advisory Committee of the NYS School Boards Association. As Chairman of Blythedale Children’s Hospital, I am dedicated to supporting children’s health.
