Meet BOE Candidate #9

Tammy Westbrook
Two-Year Term

As a seasoned educator, I fully understand the challenges faced by those who "do the work" of educating our children. The Board of Education is critically important to lead the success of classroom efforts. I am running for the Plainfield Board of Education to lend my personal and professional knowledge to help our children achieve at their highest potential.

I believe in our children and our community.

If elected to the Board, I will serve with excellence, integrity and impartiality and do all that I can to insure that our children are prepared to participate and compete in a rapidly-changing and technologically-advanced world.
