School Board Candidate Q&A: Thomas Trauger (D) - Pennridge School District

Thomas Trauger is a Democrat and East Rockhill Township resident.

Why do you think you are qualified to effectively represent your community on the school board?

I have been a Pennridge resident since 2004 and have three children currently attending our schools, giving me both a personal and long-term investment in the success of our district. Professionally, I hold a degree in finance and work as a consultant in skilled nursing; one of the most highly regulated industries in the nation. This background has made me adept at navigating complex regulations, balancing budgets under tight funding restraints and finding creative solutions to challenges. Our district faces similar pressures including unfunded mandates from the commonwealth. I believe my experience uniquely equips me to help Pennridge build a responsible budget that supports both fiscal stability and academic excellence. I am committed to working collaboratively with fellow board members, educators and our community to ensure Pennridge students have every opportunity to succeed.
