Dear Shoreham-Wading River Central School District Community,

I am excited to share with you my decision to run for the SWR Board of Education, a role that I believe is pivotal in charting the course for our district's future. Having been a resident for over 30 years and proud product of Shoreham-Wading River schools, I've had the privilege of experiencing the growth and evolution of the school district, instilling in me a profound love of our community. As a parent with three children currently enrolled at SWR with various interests in the arts, education, athletics, and beyond, and as an active volunteer in the district and community, my commitment to the improvement and success of our schools is personal and unwavering.

My 20-year professional background has been focused on researching and understanding educational programming that leads to positive student outcomes, as well as providing strategic planning supports to school districts. Now, I am eager to contribute my experiences and professional expertise to further enhance the educational journey of our students. I encourage you to take a look through the rest of this site to get a more detailed sense of my background and what makes me a great fit for our school board.

I humbly request your support in this journey. Together, let's shape a future for our district that reflects our shared vision for excellence. Your vote is not just for me but for a collective aspiration for a thriving educational community. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Jim Lauckhardt
