We are writing to share our enthusiastic support for Ron Reed in the upcoming Sag Harbor School Board election.

In the two years since he moved to the area with his family, he has become a powerful voice advocating for the interests of the students of Sag Harbor. He immediately joined the Facilities Committee, where his background as an architect working for a firm handling huge infrastructure projects — such as the new terminal at LaGuardia Airport, where he was lead design build manager for terminal design — allowed him to contribute his unique and extensive expertise.

We feel that, as a candidate running for the School Board position, his priorities align with those of many of the other families at the school. He appreciates the unique character of our school: He is often heard saying how our local public school rivals many of the New York City private schools in the care and attention it devotes to each individual student. He cares deeply about retaining this special quality in our school.

Ron Reed also believes in making sure standards for academic rigor are pushed to allow our children to have the best education possible in order to ensure their future success.

We stand behind Ron, whose endearingly cheerful and friendly disposition, combined with his drive and enthusiasm, make for a candidate that the school would be fortunate to have representing the student body’s interests.

We urge you to vote for Ron.

Felix and Claire Bird
