I am writing in support of the candidacies of Jim Gounaris and Henry Zanetti for Herricks
UFSD Board of Education.

Both Jim and Henry have been strong advocates for students as Board of Education Presidents/Trustees. During their tenures, Herricks has only become stronger fiscally and educationally.

Not only do Jim and Henry have a vision for the future of Herricks, they work cooperatively with the superintendent of schools, adminstrators, faculty and staff, parents, students and community members to move Herricks forward.

They have dealt with a variety of challenges throughout their service on the BOE and are not afraid to stand up for what is best for our children both in the immediate and long term. In my own personal experience, I have seen how they support the needs of students with differing needs.
