Jen Marraccino — candidate for Nyack Schools Board of Education

I am running for the Nyack School Board for our community and our KIDS –

• Knowing the community’s needs
• Instilling academic excellence
• Demanding fiscal responsibility
• Safety at all levels of our schools

I have been passionate about community issues since I moved to Nyack
nine years ago and have taken on various leadership roles:

• For the past 2 years have been honored to served as President of the Upper Nyack PTA with duties that include: overseeing the budget of $60,000, implementing new fundraising ideas, creating the paperless parent e-mail system to share information more efficiently, developing an environmental committee, and advocating for safe routes to school for all children.
• As fundraising chairperson of Friends of the Nyacks I raised over $20,000 to purchase and install new playground equipment at Memorial Park, including securing grant money from Senator Morahan.
• Helped lead a committee to improve traffic safety in Upper Nyack.
• Ran the NYC office of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, overseeing a $5 million budget and managing fundraising and patient services.
