Dr. Dia Bryant for West Orange School Board

I’m running for the West Orange Board of Education to ensure every student has access to rigorous academics, supportive learning environments, and opportunities that prepare them for college, careers, and life. My focus is on making “honors” mean more opportunity—not exclusion—by strengthening math pathways, ensuring curriculum is implemented effectively, and investing in leadership at every level.

As a national leader in math education, I’ve seen how math builds problem-solving skills, confidence, and opportunity far beyond the classroom. I believe every child can excel in math when we pair high expectations with the right supports, and that mastery of math opens doors to future success in any field.

I’m committed to expanding programs that build academic confidence and readiness, while holding our system accountable for results school by school. My vision is a lean, efficient central office that empowers people—both instructionally and administratively—to serve students well.
