Meet Maggie

My name is Maggie Hartmann and I am running for Pocono Mountain School Board in Region 1: Barrett, Paradise, and Pocono townships. I grew up in the Lehigh Valley where I studied trumpet and vocal music at a charter school. I attended West Chester University, where I helped to establish a 501 c(3) non-profit. I was the recipient of the 2011 College of Arts and Science Research Award, which allowed me to travel to Cambodia for 2 months to conduct research on non-profit standards. I took a break from undergad when I returned, but eventually earned a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Sociology from Excelsior College. I am married and have 2 children who will be entering the public school system Fall 2023, and Fall 2024.

Education

Accessibility
Equity
  • Equity in education is definied by the Equity Collaborative as "the elimination of the predictability of success or failure by any social or cultural factor AND the dismantling of inequitable practices and policies."
  • "Furthermore, educators and school and district leaders should strive for high levels of consciousness around racial literacy, gender equality, ableist practices, and actions that disenfranchise students who have minimal economic and social resources."
  • The Equity Collaborative
Inclusivity
  • Inclusivity in education means valuing our diverse community.
  • Every student belongs and contributes to their school culture.
  • Open Society Foundations

Let's work together!

I am always looking to collaborate with other members of the community. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or feedback.
