Marvin Sachs, our School Board Chairman, has invited all Brighton stakeholders to participate in a survey regarding characteristics desirable in a new superintendent.

Unless you check the Brighton Schools web site regularly, are a PTSA member, or have children in the schools, you probably won’t know about this survey. So, even though you are an important stakeholder, i.e. A TAXPAYER WHO FUNDS THE BRIGHTON SCHOOLS, your voice will not be heard.

If you are reading this, I urge you to go now to the Brighton Central Schools web site, and fill out the survey.

In the space for comments, tell the school board how important it is that we hire a superintendent capable of achieving fiscal restraint in our district.  All of the characteristics listed are great, but unless our district can curtail its budget, population loss will continue to erode the tax base and our town, and its excellent schools will continue to deteriorate.
