I moved to West Windsor in 2010. After I had done an extensive search in Central Jersey, I chose this beautiful town, largely because of WW-P’s reputation for high-quality education.
There are a lot of things that I could never imagine are going on. The community is distinctively divided on education in our schools; popular school programs are being slashed; the doubts that the District will spend the money wisely are common; the morale of school teachers is low.
I started asking what had happened and wanted to find out why by attending the monthly BOE meetings from time to time. Every time, I saw Ms. Herts there, who spoke vocally for the benefits of we taxpayers and residents. Her informative letters published in teh WWP News helped me to connect the dots between the unhappy things I mentioned above and a BOE that rubber stamped whichever significant changes the school district administration wanted to make, no matter how unpopular those changes were.
Here is another story to show how I can have trust in Ms. Marinsky. Last weekend, during a chat with my neighbor, he told me after I mentioned why this upcoming BOE election would be important, “I got the campaign flyer of Ms. Herts and Ms. Marinsky in mail and I called my daughter and asked what she thought. You know, she already graduated from the High School South a few years ago. She said she and her classmates all love Ms. Marinsky because she cared about the students and urge me to vote for Ms. Marinsky without any doubt.”
I believe Ms. Herts and Ms. Marinsky will effectively advocate on behalf of West Windsor taxpayers, residents and our students when they are on BOE.
