Joan Minnuies - Personal Statement
I have been an active volunteer in the Middletown community for over 34 years. For the past 17 years, it has been my honor to serve on the Board of Education. During this time, I have made it my personal goal to be visible, accessible, and available. My priority to learn and grow in the position led me to enroll in New Jersey School Board classes and to reach the highest level awarded as a Certified Board Leader.
During my time on the Board, I have been privileged to be a part of many district-wide achievements such as: future ready schools, implementation of full day kindergarten, block scheduling, dual enrollments, increased AP offerings, positive advances in inclusion, increased security, and much more .
In addition to being a long-time supporter of neighborhood schools, and a voice for students and taxpayers, I strongly believe in transparency, and the community’s right to have input on key decisions prior to a Board vote. I hope to continue representing my home town by being reelected to the Board of Education.
