To the Editor:

We are very fortunate to have Tim Horan running for a seat on the Guilderland School Board, and I encourage my fellow parents to support him with their votes.  

Our children’s teachers have been without representation or a voice on the board for years. The school board has repeatedly disrespected our teachers and made decisions that have negatively affected them and our students.

In Tim, who brings 30 years of experience as a Guilderland educator, we finally have a candidate who will stand up for the best interest of our teachers and students.  

Tim’s classroom experience makes him especially qualified to address the issues of class size and the increased focus on state testing that has negatively affected our children’s education.

I would encourage voters in the Guilderland School District to read the interview Tim gave to The Altamont Enterprise, and consider supporting the new voice he will bring to the board.
