Campaign themes
2013
Singh discussed his campaign themes in an interview with the Upper Darby Parent Coalition:[1]
|
We must all look at our public education system as one which affects us all. When a student fails to perform in school, it is actually the failure of the community at large. As your next School Board Director, I will be a passionate member of the board and will not be afraid to ask tough questions. I plan to work with parents and community leaders; building private-public partnerships for the good of our students; being proactive in encouraging community members to be mentors, volunteer at after school programs or even assist in cleaning school yards. We need to work together to make the positive changes that we all envision. I believe that when we solely focus on what’s best for our students, we will see a transformation of our community. I plan to be a part of solution as we work towards bringing our school district to the next level and that’s why I’m running for the Upper Darby School Board of Directors. |
