Phil Endorsed by Washington Post
October 26, 2008
Dear Friends,
Today, the Washington Post endorsed me in the At-Large race. The Post stated, " ... Olney activist Phil Kauffman is the clear choice over retired engineer Tommy Le. Mr. Kauffman has broad and deep knowledge of the system, having been active in school and community affairs for 13 years. He rightfully speaks with pride of the accomplishments of the system yet is attuned to the frustrations of parents who feel their children are underserved. His fiscal background -- he works at the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he provides support to billions of dollars in contracts -- will be key as the board wrestles with what to cut."

I am gratified to receive this endorsement and hope you will consider it when you vote on November 4.
I look forward to serving you on the Board of Education.

Dear Friends,
Today the GAZETTE Newspapers endorsed me in the at-large race. The Gazette stated, "Kauffman, a federal attorney who lives in Olney, is the strongest can didate in the at-large race. His jovial, low-key approach and analytical skills will be put to the test. He will bring a practical decision-making approach and shows no reluctance to grapple with granular issues, such as curriculum reforms, or broader topics such as improving middle school performance. His wife is a county school teacher, affording a welcome perspective."

We need your help in spreading the word about Phil.
I am running for the Board of Education At-Large because I believe we can do better at meeting the needs of every child. Montgomery County Public Schools must meet the needs of every student and prepare them to meet the challenges of the future. I believe in high expectations and rigorous standards at all schools to ensure our children maximize their potential. Critical to the academic success of each student is: recruitment and retention of exceptional principals, teachers, and support professionals; meaningful parental support and involvement; and a safe and secure school environment.
