MAGGIE LESTER
For Milford Borough School Board
A Stronger Future for Milford's Kids.
As both a parent with children in our schools and a Milford taxpayer, I'm running for School Board because every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, every taxpayer deserves transparency, and every decision should begin with one simple question: What's best for our kids?
Parent. Taxpayer. Fresh Perspective.

Meet Maggie
Hi, I'm Maggie!
I'm a Milford parent, nonprofit executive, taxpayer, and proud member of this community.
Professionally, I lead corporate partnerships and strategic initiatives for one of our region's largest nonprofit organizations, where I work every day with budgeting, strategic planning, fundraising, and building partnerships that strengthen communities.
Personally, I'm simply a mom who wants the very best for our children.
I believe strong schools are built through thoughtful leadership,
collaboration, and asking the questions that move us forward.
I don't pretend to have every answer.
But I do believe our community deserves fresh perspectives, respectful dialogue, and a long-term vision centered on what's best for Milford's students.
That's why I'm running.
Milford is a special place.
As both a parent and a taxpayer, I've watched our students face reduced opportunities while neighboring districts expand theirs. I'm running for the School Board because I believe it's time for fresh leadership, thoughtful questions, and honest conversations about the future of Milford Borough School.
Why I'm Running
Restoring vital programs and ensuring our children have the tools to thrive in a changing world.
Better Opportunities
Taxpayers deserve clear answers and open budgets that prioritize education over reactive fixes.
True Transparency
Moving Milford forward with a long-term roadmap centered on the success of every student.
A Strategic Plan
My Priorities
Better Opportunities for Students
Every child deserves access to a well-rounded education.
I will advocate for protecting educational path, strengthening student support, and ensuring Milford students have opportunities comparable to neighboring districts.
Responsible Stewardship
Every dollar must be invested wisely.
Fiscal responsibility and educational excellence go hand in hand. I will always explore every alternative before reducing student opportunities.
Transparency & Accountability
Communication is essential.
The Board should clearly communicate what decisions are made, why they are made, and how they support our long-term vision.
Planning for the Future
An honest conversation about our school.
We need a long-term plan, driven by what's best for students, rather than continuing without a clear vision.
MY VISION
Building a Brighter Path for Every Child
Milford is at a crossroads. The choices we make today will determine the trajectory of our students' education and the strength of our community. We must establish a clear, long-term roadmap for Milford Borough School that prioritizes the next generation over temporary fixes.
Every Child Deserves Opportunity
Our students deserve supportive, well-resourced classrooms that help every learner reach their full potential. Every decision we make must protect essential opportunities and support for every child.
Students at the Center
Every Board decision must prioritize student success by balancing high academic standards with student well-being. We will ensure long-term stability by making choices that put our children first.
Solution-Focused Leadership
True leadership requires listening intently, asking tough questions, and pivoting when necessary to serve our students.
Milford needs a sustainable strategic roadmap rather than reactive year-to-year budgeting. We must replace short-term fixes with a clear, long-term vision for our schools.
Sustainable Stability
Dedicated to Milford
I will always put students first by arriving prepared, asking the right questions, and listening to our families. Together, we will build a stronger future for Milford.
