Candidate for First Selectman Martha Jankovic-Mark (D) outlined her plan to work towards refocusing many of the town’s efforts to improve the quality of education for our students. The Trumbull Democratic plan for education, entitled “Trumbull Education 2020” will tackle issues including keeping politics away from the Board of Education, maintaining class sizes below or at guidelines throughout the district and properly funding the district’s long-term capital project’s plan.
“As First Selectman, I would work to refocus the town’s efforts to improve the quality of education for our students. We must not only maintain our well-deserved reputation for high achievement and success, but continue to address issues on how to best prepare our children for their future while facing ever increasing mandates and pressures.” Said Jankovic-Mark
Jankovic-Mark also looks to resolve these issues in a smart, fiscally responsible way that enables our students to continue to receive the best education the Town of Trumbull can offer, regardless of politics.
In her plan she outlines initiatives such as:
