John and Tracy Shields say Lauren Romano and Jack Fairchild will help Moorestown schools continue to get better.
We are writing to express our support for Lauren Romano and Jack Fairchild for the Moorestown School Board. We know Lauren and Jack are the people we need.
We met Lauren six years ago. She is a lifelong Moorestown resident whose family roots in our community go back six generations. She and her husband Pete, another lifelong Moorestownian, care deeply about this community. Their children are students in the Moorestown school district.
The main reason we support Lauren’s candidacy is that she is a teacher herself, having taught students at various locations and grade levels for 18 years. As such, she is intimately familiar with the challenges Moorestown faces in providing the best possible education in the least restrictive environment for all children. Lauren would bring an invaluable first-hand perspective on the challenges our teachers and staff face in providing our kids with the best education and preparation for life.
Lauren also understands how crucial it is to spend our tax dollars effectively in this era of rising taxes and shrinking budgets. We believe she would be an excellent steward of our school system’s budget with a real world perspective on which programs are ineffective and which work but need greater funding.
Jack’s emphasis on transparency also resonates with us as citizens and parents. We firmly believe that students and their parents should be able to easily access information about resources and programs available in our schools, increasing each family’s ability to make informed choices about their child’s educational path.
We moved to Moorestown because of the reputation of its schools. Of course, we can always do better, and we know Lauren and Jack will do just that.
Join us in casting your vote for Lauren Romano and Jack Fairchild on November 7.
John and Tracy Shields
