Princeton Incoming School Board Member Kendal's 2020 Resolution

PRINCETON, NJ — 2020 is right around the corner and with the new year and new decade about to start many government officials are looking ahead.

Princeton's incoming School Board member Dafna Kendal's 2020 New Year resolution is to provide students with a meaningful education.

"Princeton is fortunate to have a strong public school district, but we are facing many challenges: budgetary constraints, increasing enrollment, and a reduction in personnel that has resulted in overworked staff and underserved students.

My top priority has always been for our district to provide students of all backgrounds and abilities with a meaningful education that helps them to reach their potential. We can achieve this through strong, collaborative leadership that engages our community, students, teachers, and administrators. In 2020, I will look to a variety of diverse voices to continue to educate myself about history, social issues, and current events for the benefit of our district and our community."

Kendal was elected in November to fill one of the three open three-year seats on the Princeton Board of Education. (See Related: Princeton Council: Sacks And Lambros Win, Unofficial Results Say)
