It is truly an honor to step into the role of Interim Superintendent here in Branchburg. As we navigate this period of transition, my immediate and unwavering focus will be on maintaining a stable and supportive environment for every student and staff member. Safety and security are the foundations upon which all successful learning is built. This is not just about physical security, but also ensuring an emotional environment where everyone feels respected, valued, and ready to learn.

Beyond ensuring a secure environment, our primary mission remains centered on delivering a truly engaging and challenging learning environment for all students. This means supporting our dedicated educators with the resources and professional development they need to implement innovative teaching, learning and assessment strategies. We are committed to challenging students toward innovative thinking, sparking curiosity, and preparing them to reach their full potential.

Finally, the work of educating our students is a collective effort, and I am deeply committed to continuing to partner with our local organizations, businesses, and community leaders. These partnerships provide invaluable resources, opportunities, and essential support that directly enhances the educational experience we offer. I look forward to meeting many of you in the coming months and working side-by-side to strengthen these vital connections. Together, with mutual respect and shared purpose, we can ensure our district continues to thrive. I am excited about the path ahead and look forward to an exciting year in Branchburg.

Sincerely,

Christine Burton

Interim Superintendent
