What Parsippany Students need most:  In these troubled times students need to keep intact all of their  school programs both academic as well as extracurricular.

What the BOE needs most: The Parsippany Troy Hills Board of Education needs a new president. Anthony Mancuso should be replaced.

District Strengths: The districts teaching staff is its strength. Staff should have politics kept out of the classroom.

What needs Improvement: The Parsippany Board of Education needs to consolidate most functioning to pool employee pensions, health care, transportation, supplies, etc. into a larger pool to save taxpayer dollars.

LeRoy Seitz Contract:  Dr. Seitz’s contract never should have extended beyond his June 30 deadline. His contract should had led the way as an example for  providing the most “bang for the buck” in this troublesome economy.

Why should you vote for me:  I will be honest, direct, and serve the town tirelessly to lower the cost of running our schools, upgrading the level of student performance, and secure equal commitment from the county, state and federal authorities.
