Description

To the Editor: These are difficult times for educators. Balancing the health of children with maintenance of Darien's justly admired educational excellence requires focus, understanding, and flexibility addressing an unpredictable future. Mike Burke and Sara Parent are the candidates for Board of Education who can best support and guide the success of our children, staff, and administration in navigating the complex decisions and actions facing them. Sara Parent, with an MA in Teaching from Columbia, is a trained educator. She has taught school. She knows quality education from the inside-out. She also has a record as a committed champion of Darien's children and school system. Mike Burke, a Board of Education member since 2014, is the Chair of the Board's Policy Committee, and as a member of the Negotiations Committee, has helped reach agreements that both honor the work of our teachers, and are mindful of taxpayer dollars. Vote Burke and Parent. Cecil WadeDarien, CT
