Support for KT Tobin Flusser

I am voting for KT Tobin Flusser for New Paltz School Board on May 19 and I strongly urge your readers to do the same. KT has so many of the qualities we need in a school board member: she is intellectually and spiritually strong, she is focused and motivated, she is practical and progressive.

KT's commitment to family and friends and to improving our town is demonstrated on many levels. She has a strong academic background, as a doctoral candidate who already holds a Masters in Social Research and Bachelors in Sociology. Further, her current work as Assistant Director at the SUNY New Paltz Center for Research, Regional Education and Outreach, puts her on the cutting edge of social, educational and political policy issues that our school board must address. KT brings more than just academics and administrative skills to the table, however. While she and her husband Matt raise three wonderful children, KT still finds the time to participate in a long list of core community boards, projects and causes (such as New Paltz GreenWorks, Save The Middle School and the Village EnCC, just to name a few). A visit to KT's website, www.KTforSchoolBoard.blogspot.com, will give you a better look at this great lady and what she has in mind for the future of our schools.

New Paltz is a community favored with an abundance of talented and civic-minded people. If KT is willing to give us her time and effort to serve on our school board, we should seize this opportunity and elect her to the post.

Thank you for permitting me to articulate my support for KT Tobin Flusser.
