My name is Judith Raskoshin. I was born and raised in Perth Amboy, NJ and then
later moved to Old Bridge, NJ. After attending Old Bridge High School I went on to
continue my education at Monmouth University where I received a Master’s in
Special Education. Once my Master’s was completed I started my teaching career
and have been working full-time for the past 15 years as a Special Education
teacher.
My husband Stanislav and I purchased our first home together in South Amboy in
2013. We loved that “small town” charm that this town had to offer. Since our
twelve years of being residences of South Amboy our family has grown by two
beautiful children. Our eldest child is 6 and our youngest is 2.
When my son began school, I knew that I wanted to become more involved as a
parent and as a community member. I then began my journey to become a Board
of Education Member. Now, that I am the Board President I have the chance to
work with other board members to create a shared vision for learning,
improvement, build strategic partnerships, adopting and maintaining current
policies, maintain strong ethical standards and objectively seek answers to
questions and challenges as they arise. I believe that my involvement as a Special
Education teacher in a public school district uniquely positions me to contribute as
a Board Member.
I believe that I bring a fresh perspective to the Board with my experience as a
Special Education teacher, as a community member, and as a parent of an
elementary school student. I have the willpower to work with other leaders in
South Amboy to improve the city as whole and in particular to improve our
schools. All with keeping in mind the main purpose of making sure our children
receive the best education and the best educational experience possible during
their school age years. I am extremely excited to see our schools and city grow in
the years to come. I truly love this city and the people who reside here!
