Welcome!

Welcome to our Voter Guide to the 2023 Amity Board of Education elections! If you haven’t met us yet, we are a group of parents and caregivers from the Amity district working to keep our schools strong, safe, and welcoming for all families in the BOWA community.

We aim to improve voter awareness about Amity in the three towns of the district. This November, the three towns of Bethany, Orange, and Woodbridge will vote to fill seven seats on Amity’s Board - more than half of its members. Since nine of the thirteen candidates have little to no public record on the topic of education, we developed an online guide to help voters get to know each one as individuals.

This Voter Guide is designed to help you, the voter, make an informed choice when you vote this November 7th.

I hope you find it useful - if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch using the Contact Us page.

- Robert Lim, Chairperson of Amity Allies

Our Approach

We wanted to develop a questionnaire that would ask fair, reasonable, and relevant questions to all Candidates who are running to serve on the Amity Board of Education for terms running from 2023 to 2027. Our goal is for the Candidates to describe their positions in their own words, while addressing matters of substance that may come before the Board.

These questions were selected based on their relevance to both the role of the Board, as well as areas of interest expressed by the community.

The candidate responses you read are as they have been provided (although we do correct typos). If we believe a statement to be unclear, we will confirm with the candidate to see if alternate wording is needed.

While we don’t foresee any issues, we respectfully decline to post comments about other candidates or confidential details relating to the district (such as those that may transpire during Board executive sessions), and reserve the right to fact check any statements.

Welcome!
