Meet Laura Wozniak - Candidate for Marple Newtown School Board

Laura Wozniak wants to offer her considerable experience and talents as a School Director on the Marple Newtown School Board.

Laura has lived in Newtown Square for over 20 years and believes in the Marple Newtown School District.  She is the dedicated mother of five children. Two of her children are graduates of Marple Newtown public schools and a third graduated from Cardinal O’Hara High School.  One son is currently a junior at Marple Newtown High School.  Another son will attend Culbertson Elementary School in the fall.  Laura believes that the opportunities afforded her children while attending Culbertson Elementary, Paxon Hollow Middle School and Marple Newtown High School played an important role in their success.  Her three college age children are now attending Northeastern and Temple Universities. 

Laura has served actively in the Marple Newtown community as a member of the Culbertson Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization, as a softball coach for the Newtown Square Petticoat League, as a Soccer Coach for the Marple Newtown Soccer Association and as a Cub Scout Den Leader for Troop 315.

Laura is a Pennsylvania certified teacher who graduated Summa Cum Laude from West Chester University.  As a mother and certified teacher, Laura knows the importance of educating the whole child as well as meeting the diverse needs of all children in the classroom.  She also has almost twenty years’ experience as an office manager.  In this role, she has become experienced in managing the difficult task of creating and balancing a budget.

As a School Board Director, Laura will use her knowledge and skills to continually seek ways to improve education while ensuring tax dollars are well spent.  It will be her priority to promote ongoing communication between administration, staff, parents, students and all other community members to ensure that each resident’s voice is heard as decisions are made.

When asked to state why she was running for the position of School Board Director, Laura said:

“To me there is nothing more important, or as rewarding, than having a positive impact on a child's life. I have spent the last 25 years serving children as a mother, teacher, coach and mentor. I have decided to run for Marple Newtown School Board so that I can contribute to the process that impacts the future of so many children's lives. Once I am elected I will strive to enhance communication with the community and will work to ensure that our schools are meeting the needs of each student.”
