Dr. Foregger’s Response to BOE Candidate Question 4: Special Interests, Influence and Money

2024 Berkeley Heights BOE Elections

Dr. Foregger’s Response to the Fourth in Our Series of Questions to the 2024 BOE Candidates 

I don’t take contributions from anyone. I encourage all residents that have a concern about something happening (or not happening) in the school district to either write to me at my board email or to bring it to the attention of the Board at a public meeting. Each public meeting has an opportunity for a resident to raise an issue to the entire board.

While we may not give an immediate response, especially if some research is involved, we do try to answer when possible. I believe that such deferred responses should be posted with 10 days on the District website and contribute toward achievement of one our Board goals.

The interests of everyday people include an excellent education for all the children of the district at a reasonable cost. I put a lot of time into this position and I hope everyone understands that I am at all times trying to do the right thing through researching topics, attending committee meetings, and attending various training courses and interacting with other Board members.

As to responding to independent non-corporate outlets, I have been responding to your questions on this site and would be willing to respond to questions from other sites as well.

Disclaimer: The above statements are made in my capacity as a private citizen, and not in my capacity as a board member. These statements are also not representative of the board or its individual members, and solely represent my own personal opinions.
