Campaign themes
2013
Cusanelli and fellow incumbent John Talty explained their reasons for running in 2013 on their shared campaign website:[3]
|
John Talty and Karyn Cusanelli believe in providing the students of Brick with high academic standards, exposure to current technology, and every opportunity for a competitive education. Promoting S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) in our schools is another way to prepare our students for today's world and future careers. John Talty and Karyn Cusanelli want continued improvements in our district's school buildings. The recent upgrades to our facilities, including new science labs at Brick Township High School, new gymnasium at Brick Memorial High School, and many other improvements throughout the district, need to continue. The current board, including candidates Talty and Cusanelli, are investigating financing these projects through a public/private partnership with the Office of Innovations. The priority is to find a way to fund needed improvements, particularly at Brick Township High School, in a unique, creative way that does not burden taxpayers. This innovative approach could become a model for school districts throughout the state. |
