My name is Erica Itzhak. I have been a Great Neck resident with children in the Great Neck Public Schools for the past 14 years. First let me say I not only commend, but appreciate all of the school board members for their service to our community. However, in recent years, I have noticed an unsettling change within our schools. I believe part of it is due to the need for fresh, young blood on the school board. If I had to begin to advocate for the future of our schools, it would be an impossible task if I did not have children in the schools to be aware of how different things are today from even five years ago.
I have had the privilege to know Michael Glickman for the past few years and I honestly cannot think of a better advocate for our children, our schools and our community. Michael is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in and most importantly in the times we live in, Michael is not afraid of change and will advocate for the changes needed within our schools to remain of the highest quality, as they always have. Michael has three children, all different from one another, in the Great Neck Public School System and this gives him the insight to know what our schools really need. Michael is personable, approachable and treats others fairly and with respect.
We are all living in a new world during the pandemic and certain changes may never go back to the way they were. However, when speaking with parents of children in other school districts, I am becoming fearful Great Neck will fall behind without the right progressive leadership.
It is with pride I endorse Michael Glickman for the Great Neck Public Schools School Board.
