As a Mahwah Board of Education member, I will uphold Integrity, improve Communication, and ensure every child has an opportunity for a well-rounded Education.

Hello, my name is Rachel Kirk and I’m a candidate for the Mahwah Board of Education. I’m often asked why I embarked on this journey to represent the citizens of Mahwah.

Running for the Board of Education is not something I ever imagined myself doing. It wasn't until witnessing the events that divided our community over the past year that I felt my experience as a mother, teacher and community member would make me an asset to the team. 

Early on in my career I worked with children with special needs and later applied what I had learned to become a fearless advocate for my own children with learning disabilities. It is with that same passion for quality education that will make me a strong leader for the children in our school district. I also served as PTA president which taught me a great deal about how to bring teachers and parents together to build a cohesive community. 

My goals are to ensure that parents' voices are heard, and to work toward having more transparency between the board and the greater community. I recognize that sitting on the board is an elected position and will always remember that I am here to represent the wants and needs of the district, not my own personal beliefs. I will focus on making sure that our student body is given a solid education to support their future to become productive members of a diverse community.

I’d love to hear from you, so please visit my website at http://www.rachelkirkformahwah.com or Facebook at http://fb.me/rachelkirkformahwah or Twitter at http://twitter.com/rachelformahwah.

I look forward to the opportunity to serve our great community. Thank you!
