Philip Jordan
(incumbent & current Chairperson)
Why are you running?
I am running for reelection to the Wrentham School Committee to ensure continued excellence in our local public elementary schools. I will continue to identify and secure state and federal funding to meet our budgetary needs without impacting local taxes, building on the success of eliminating tuition for full day Kindergarten and joining the 94% of schools across the Commonwealth with free full-day K! I am especially interested in the new Roderick School building project, ensuring that we build a modern, efficient, and safe school for our students.
