We are deeply grateful for the trust and support you’ve shown in this election. On behalf of Brian and myself, we’re honored to serve the community as part of a Board committed to educational excellence for our students. Together, we can build a strong foundation rooted in transparency, accountability, and a shared vision for our schools. We’ve already reached out to the Board and district leadership to start building that partnership! We look forward to working with the continuing board members, including Danielle Bellomo, following her successful election last night.

We also look forward to working closely with our community and families, exploring new ways to foster positive, productive relationships with everyone who cares so deeply about our children’s future.

Lastly, Brian and I are saddened that Nirav won’t be joining us on this journey next year, but we’ll carry forward his commitment and vision in our work. We’re encouraged by his dedication to the success of all Marlboro students. Thank you, Nirav, for being such a driving force in the Partners Improving Education campaign.

Curriculum control

The question from our community: 

What is your position on educators controlling curriculum vs parents?

The curriculum is not controlled by any single member or group. It is the responsibility of our educators to thoroughly understand the curriculum guidelines and develop instructional plans that provide our students with the most effective methods for mastering the subject matter.

Teachers help mold our children and prepare them to succeed in life. We trust our teachers but also believe that parents have the right to be informed about what their children are learning, including access to instructional materials. They should also feel welcome to discuss any concerns with educators and allow for a two-way conversation. Our educators have a duty to be well-versed in the curriculum, enabling them to explain the rationale behind the selection of specific materials and teaching strategies. This transparency ensures that parents are informed and confident in the education their children are receiving and allows autonomy for educators in ensuring children are meeting educational goals.
