We are proud to endorse Josh Kaye for a four-year term on the New Canaan Board of Education. Josh is a thoughtful, balanced, and deeply committed member of our community who understands what makes our schools exceptional — and what it takes to keep them that way.
Josh believes, as so many of us do, that New Canaan’s public schools are one of our community’s greatest strengths. They are not excellent by accident. They are the result of generations of parents, teachers, and administrators working together, supported by Boards of Education that have consistently put our children’s education and wellbeing ahead of politics. Josh is running to continue that tradition — to ensure our schools remain places where professionalism, local control, and academic excellence guide every decision.
He will bring to the Board a steady hand and a collaborative spirit. He is committed to developing responsible budgets that fund our schools fully and transparently, without waste. He understands that our teachers are professionals who deserve respect, resources, and support to do their best work. And he recognizes that protecting local control means standing up for New Canaan — whether the pressure comes from Hartford or Washington. Josh has been a practicing attorney for nearly 20 years. He spent most of his career as a litigator at a major New York law firm, handling high-stakes commercial disputes and government investigations lawyers are trained to ask tough questions and gather facts. His presence as the only attorney on the Board of Education will leverage these valuable skills.
At a time when public education has become a flashpoint for division in many communities, Josh Kaye offers something refreshingly different: reason, balance, and a clear focus on what truly matters — our kids, our teachers, and the continued excellence of New Canaan’s schools.
We urge our fellow residents to join us in voting for Josh Kaye for the New Canaan Board of Education. Our schools, our community, and our children’s future will be stronger for it.
