Letter: GOP Ed Board Candidates are 'Collaborative and Dedicated'

To the editor:

With much election attention focused at the national level, it is extremely important that we also take the time to learn about Darien’s only local election this year—Board of Education. I will be casting my votes for Betsy Hagerty-Ross and Sarah Schneider-Zuro because they bring a tremendous amount of experience, thoughtfulness, and integrity to our Board. 

As current members of the Board of Education, Betsy and Sarah have proven themselves to be collaborative and dedicated leaders who are truly concerned with providing the best possible educational experience for all of the district’s children. 

As the mothers of five children spanning both elementary and secondary levels, they know firsthand what happens in our schools on a daily basis and they understand and appreciate what is necessary to maintain the standard of excellence in Darien’s schools.  Let’s not risk a good thing!  Re-elect Hagerty-Ross and Schneider-Zuro on Nov. 6.
