Opinion: Let's restore integrity and vision to our school board
To the editor:
On May 19 our community has the chance to restore integrity to the Delaware Valley School Board with five caring and passionate candidates: Jack Fisher, Bill Greenlaw, Pam Lutfy, Chuck Pike and Sue Schor.
⇒ KEEP READING
These five independent thinkers stand strong after months of Taxpayers United bullying.
TU's Goldsack, Marasa, Wright refused to meet with you, the taxpayers, at two Meet the Candidates events, one hosted by the hardworking volunteers in our PTAs. They refused to answer questionnaires posed by our students and by the union employees who keep our schools running. We voters haven't been worthy of any introduction from Marasa or Wright, yet they expect our votes.
All of the candidates in this election favor fiscal responsibility. Everyone feels the pain of the economic crisis.
The difference from TU is that Fisher, Greenlaw, Lutfy, Pike, Schor show they are much more in touch with the needs of taxpayers, students, teachers, parents – everyone in our community. They've volunteered for decades in our schools and community, with our PTAs, with special needs children, with Odyssey of the Mind, with our Warrior athletics, with the Rotary Club. They all have children attending or graduated from DV. They've been endorsed by the Future of Pike County and the DV Education Support Professionals.
Fisher, Greenlaw, Lutfy, Pike, Schor will keep your taxes low, but unlike TU, they will do so responsibly, with integrity, with accountability, with transparency, with careful attention to the facts, and with sensitivity to the many stakeholders the school board represents.
Instead of educating voters, TU thought it was a better use of their time to launch personal attacks on their opponents and, more sadly, on graduates from the school district they supposedly lead.
Their attacks have ashamed and hurt me. I am embarrassed at the circus TU has made of the school district I attended for 13 years.
But more importantly, their attacks have encouraged me.
They've encouraged me to major in education policy at the Maxwell School of Public Affairs. They encouraged me to intern at a New York City public school as a Participation in Government teacher this spring. The eye-opening experience of teaching in a high school where per-pupil costs exceed DV’s by thousands yet whose graduation rate is 50 percent, reinforced my position to always support educational leaders with integrity and vision.
The TU smear club has tried silencing me because I do not personally pay school taxes. They don't mention that my family proudly pays our taxes, in gratitude, to the school district that raised my brother and me. Through the tough financial times our family is also experiencing with college tuition bills and costly unexpected medical expenses, we realize the importance of good leadership for the future of Delaware Valley.
May 19 is our day to come together as a community and stop the madness. Please, let's restore virtue and vision to our school board by voting Fisher, Greenlaw, Lutfy, Pike, Schor.
Respectfully,
Ryan Balton

New political action committee to endorse school board candidates
A Web site for a political action committee called the "Future of Pike County" says the group will endorse up to five candidates in this year's Delaware Valley school board race.
"Future of Pike County is a recently established all-partisan, student-led political committee that supports candidates for local public office who offer strong leadership and support for policies that are in the long-term interest of Pike County," according to the Web site, which contains no other information but has forms to fill out to make a donation and "join us."
The Twitter account also announces that the group has mailed surveys to the candidates. The surveys are due by April 10 and the committee will make an endorsement by April 17, according to the Twitter account.
The Web site was registered by Pike County Youth Coalition executive director and Pike County Courier reporter Nick Troiano, DV class of 2007, according to the site's WHOIS records.
