Candidate for Regional Board of Education | 2023
My name is Jen Voegtli and I am running for a seat on the Haddam-Killingworth Board of Education. I have an undergraduate degree in Chemistry with a minor in Biochemistry and a graduate degree in Molecular Biology. My husband Walt and I moved to Killingworth from Colorado 9.5 years ago. We have two children, Wyatt and Owen, who will be entering ninth and seventh grade in the fall. As a product of the public school system myself, high-quality public education in RSD17 was the major factor in choosing to raise our family in Killingworth, as well as the excellence of the services this district provides.
I have been very active in KES, HKIS and HKMS since my oldest started kindergarten, and hope to be able to volunteer when needed at HKHS. I was a substitute teacher at KES and HKIS, a room parent many times at KES, highly involved with the PTO as Secretary, Treasurer and several committees, and was honored with the Sargent Dingwall Award for Community Service at HKMS this spring.
I would love to continue to serve our community as a BOE member and work with teachers, administrators, parents and community on the best ways to continue to provide our children with an excellent, well-rounded education, and to continually improve on and grow the systems we currently have in place.
