We have a Board of Education election in Port Washington in a few weeks (June 9) and I just learned about a new candidate that would bring a much-needed injection of new blood to the school district.
His name is Adam Block, and he has some wonderful ideas on how to better the school district as well as the professional experience to do the complicated financial wok of the board.
Adam grew up in Port Washington and has returned recently as he has always loved this town. He wants to improve our schools by expanding what they offer the students.
From early drop off options that will help parents juggle jobs and child care to additional after school activities, to developing internship programs at Weber and Schreiber.
Adam has new ideas that he has seen work at other schools on Long Island and Westchester and I believe they can work here.
The corona pandemic has shown that Port Schools need to be more proactive and less reactive. Our schools could most certainly use a new perspective that will bring our district to a brighter and exciting future.
