To the editor:
Until the COVID-19 pandemic has ended, Darien’s school system will face unprecedented challenges. Teachers, administrators and Board of Education members will not only need to immerse themselves in cutting-edge education techniques, but they will need to develop expertise in public health.
Two-cent U.S. postage stamp. You, too can put in your two cents’ worth with a letter to the editor published by Darienite.com. Email it to dave@darienite.com. Election letters should be emailed by 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 28 (the Wednesday before Election Day).
Mike Burke and Sara Parent are the obvious choices in November to master those dual tasks. Mike’s years of being the “policy wonk” on the Board give him the breadth of experience needed to provide thought leadership on these critical issues.
Sara’s graduate degree in teaching and experience as both a teacher and active Darien school parent will allow her to lead board discussions from a perspective steeped in practical experience.
November’s election will give Darien’s citizens the opportunity to have their voices heard on the critical issues facing our country. Make them heard locally by voting for Mike & Sara.
