My name is Joseph Cahill.  I live in Exeter and am running for the SAU16 Cooperative School Board's open Exeter position.  I am a proud member of the Exeter business community and father of two daughters within the district.  

​

I have many concerns about our public schools and am committed to help improving not only our educational standards but also improving communication between the school administration and our community of students, parents, teachers, and tax payers.  I believe our school board must be responsive and receptive to all.  We need to have an open dialogue and discussion about what's in the best interest of our schools based on putting our most important asset, our children, first.  As a board member, you are a trustee within the community that elects you.  That Trustee must be accessible and willing to collaborate on important issues affecting our children.  

If you elect me as your Exeter Co-op representative, my focus will be to serve all of the children in our community, from our most gifted to our most vulnerable.  No one child is more important than another.  In this regard, I will strive to bring our community together to support our children in ways that allow them to receive the best education possible, while fostering a positive environment in which to learn.  With more than 25 years of experience managing people and budgets, combined with my desire to return our district to one of the best public educations in the state, I will achieve this goal. 

I encourage your questions and hope to have the opportunity to get to know you if I don't already.  I look forward to the upcoming Meet the Candidates events and ask all who can to please attend.

I ask for your support on March 8.  Please contact me with any comments, questions or concerns.
