I am honored to endorse Dr. Foregger for re-election to the BHPSNJ Board of Education. His dedication to improving student proficiency scores, particularly in mathematics, and his thoughtful, data-driven approach to educational challenges make him an invaluable asset to our community.
Dr. Foregger has been instrumental in advocating for solutions to address the district’s mediocre proficiency scores, pushing for improvements for more than two years. His persistence and commitment have helped bring attention to the issue, and now, thanks to his efforts, we are seeing promising steps toward improving student outcomes in math. Dr. Foregger fully supports Dr. Curtiss’ recommendations, which include reinstating an 8th grade math option, increasing instructional time for math, and providing additional professional development for teachers. These initiatives show great potential to raise proficiency levels and ensure that our students receive the education they deserve.
Dr. Foregger’s approach doesn’t stop at math; he advocates for a comprehensive review of other areas such as science and English Language Arts (ELA). His vision is to have the administrative team conduct similar analyses in these subjects, carefully reviewing the current curriculum, comparing our instructional time and methods with more successful districts, and ensuring alignment with state standards. Dr. Foregger understands that continuous improvement is key to academic success, and his forward-thinking approach aims to ensure that the district works toward higher proficiency scores across all subjects.
One of Dr. Foregger’s key strengths is his ability to work collaboratively and ethically as a Board member. He recognizes that while he cannot direct district staff, his role is to ask important questions, suggest improvements, and engage in meaningful dialogue with the superintendent and administrative team. This collaborative approach demonstrates his respect for the roles of others while ensuring accountability and a focus on student achievement.
Dr. Foregger’s call for the Board to adopt district goals that prioritize improving proficiency scores over the next few years reflects his commitment to long-term academic excellence. His leadership is rooted in a desire to see our students succeed, and he is willing to take the necessary steps to ensure that the district provides the highest quality education possible.
In conclusion, Dr. Foregger’s dedication to improving educational outcomes, his collaborative spirit, and his unwavering commitment to academic excellence make him the ideal candidate for the Board of Education. I strongly endorse Dr. Foregger for re-election, knowing that he will continue to work tirelessly on behalf of our students and community.
