On Tuesday, November 6, 2012, in addition to being able to cast a ballot for national and state-level offices, you will also have the opportunity to elect three school board trustees. My name is David Verducci. As a nine-year resident of the community and a candidate for the Upper Saddle River Board of Education, I am asking today for your support.

Throughout my career, I have made meeting the needs of all students within the school community my highest priority. Every student, whether academically gifted, learning disabled, or simply the ‘average student’, has the right to an education that meets individual needs, enhances strengths, improves weaknesses, and bolsters confidence and self-esteem. As well, I have spent my entire career building strong relationships with my faculty and administration, as adversarial relationships help no one. I work until consensus is developed, decisions reached, and plans implemented.
