Endorsement from Kathy (Leonard) Reynolds, A Letter to the Gazette

I am writing to support Andrea Furey’s candidacy for the Croton-Harmon School Board.

Andrea’s greatest asset is her ability to communicate. She is a communications specialist who has used her talents working for the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Museum of Modern Art and the Croton Cortlandt Center for the Arts. Her work as Co-President of the Croton-Harmon Special Education PTA has resulted in greater dialogue between parents, teachers and administrators. For those voters who do not have children or no longer have children in the schools, Andrea is the candidate for you. She understands the need to communicate with everyone, not just to parents of children in the district. Andrea also recognizes the importance of an open dialogue between the school district and the village administration.

As Co-Founder and Co-President of the Croton-Harmon Special Education PTA, as well as a Committee on Special Education parent member, Andrea is the only candidate who understands the complex issues related to special education in our district. Special education programming accounts for nearly 15% of the total school budget Andrea has the knowledge and ability to evaluate the effectiveness of programs as well as look at options to contain costs.

I hope you will join me in voting for Andrea Furey on May 19th.
