Roy Rakszawski has announced his candidacy for election to the Council Rock Board of School Directors, Region 6, which includes voting districts 4, 8, 13, and 18. Both Republicans and Democrats can vote for him in the primary election on May 18.
“With over 28 years of experience in public education, including eight as a superintendent, I want to give back to my community and serve the Council Rock School District,” Rakszawski said. “My professional background has provided me with knowledge and expertise in all areas of teaching and learning, including personnel, finance, and facilities. I am committed to working with the board and school community to provide the best possible educational experience for all students, while managing the district’s resources responsibly.”
Rakszawski changed to school leadership after teaching music in the Runnemede School District, N.J., for 13 years. A native of Churchville, he resided in New Jersey for 20 years before moving back to his hometown with his wife and three young children in 2009. Rakszawski stated, “It was the school district that brought me back. From my student teaching experience at Council Rock High School in 1987, I knew this was a special place with a positive culture.”
Dr. Rakszawski has been president of the Burlington County Association of School Administrators. For his work during the COVID-19 crisis, the association named Rakszawski as the 2021 Burlington County Superintendent of the Year.
