- While reducing debt by over $125 million, Joe and his fellow board members moved Spring-Ford Area School District into the top 2% of Pennsylvania’s 500 public school districts. During his tenure, the district expanded the high school’s Advanced Placement program and implemented the nation’s first-of-its-kind Hybrid Learning Center.
In 2012, Spring-Ford received the National Blue Ribbon Award — the first in district history.
- Joe led the school board’s establishment of a student exchange program with Limerick, Ireland. This Limerick-to-Limerick partnership was created to expand the horizons of the student, and included a meeting with Ireland’s president and prime minister to discuss ways to enhance education.

Joe has lobbied at the state Capitol in Harrisburg on several occasions regarding pension reform, fair funding of education, property tax reform and unfunded mandates.
- Joe has served for seven years as a board member of the Western Montgomery Career and Technical Center, including three years as chairperson. This school provides excellent opportunities for high school students to learn a trade or skill not offered at conventional four-year universities.
