Campaign themes
2013
In an interview with MyCentralJersey.com, Mongon explained her reasons for running in 2013:[1]
|
Because of my background in school business administration, I see the future of the district’s finances as the most important issue. If you think about it, whether it’s academics, athletics or the arts, the bottom line on improving or sustaining any district program or service, is always the almighty dollar. Old Bridge, as most school districts, relies on state aid and the local tax levy as its primary source of revenue. State aid is always a “wild card.” The local tax levy is capped at 2%, with the exception of specific waivers. As 80% of the school’s budget is composed of staff members and their contractual benefits, the most important decision registered voters make is election of a board that will appoint a Superintendent, who will recommend only the best qualified instructional, administrative and support staff, to the board for its approval, to ensure that the district is run ethically, efficiently and productively. The Board of Education is responsible for adopting and ensuring that the school district’s budget is implemented as adopted. No other sitting board member, incumbent or candidate for the board has the knowledge of preparing and implementing a school district budget that my candidacy brings. My goal, if elected, is to utilize my knowledge and experience to ensure that the district’s financial plans are sound and sustainable, with specific goals for the future, based on reasonable and demonstrable projections, with the input and support of the community, in an open, transparent manner, that will be of the utmost benefit to the students, staff and taxpayers. |
