Candidates ask for voters’ backing

Anjani Ghapure and Anthony Fleres, Plainsboro
   We are writing as candidates running for re-election to the West Windsor-Plainsboro Board of Education and asking for the support of Plainsboro voters on April 21.
   The West Windsor-Plainsboro schools face a number of challenges ahead. They include maintaining a high quality educational environment in the face of financial constraints imposed by the real need to minimize the tax burden on our residents and magnified by current economic conditions. We also must deal with a restructuring of our senior administrative staff as two of our assistant superintendents leave to become superintendents in neighboring towns.
   Both of us were first elected to the Board of Education in 2006, and over the past three years have developed the experience needed to meet these challenges. Anjani Gharpure has spent two years on the board’s Finance Committee and is currently a member the committee responsible for maintaining our excellent curriculum. Anthony Fleres serves on the Administration and Facilities committee, which, among other responsibilities, has overseen the successful construction following the 2006 building referendum.
   In addition, as board members we have had to deal with issues in areas ranging from labor relations to special services.
   We take our responsibility seriously, and ask the voters of Plainsboro to continue to allow us to serve them and the children of our community. Thank you.
