Putting Students First
“I want to thank the citizens of Lincoln and Sudbury for allowing me to serve for the last 12 years on the L-S School Committee. It has been such an honor to have been afforded this incredible opportunity to help shape the lives of our students through their educational experience. I ask again for your vote to re-elect me for another three years, to serve your two communities; to serve all of our students, their families, the L-S faculty and staff, and, of course, the taxpayers of Lincoln and Sudbury. The last two years of this pandemic have been quite challenging to us as a society, to our country, our state, our two towns and our school district. In the years ahead, there will be a need to recover from this pandemic, to strengthen ourselves, and reposition the school district for the future while always placing the best interest of our students first.”
Why I am Running
I am excited to be running for re-election for L-S School Committee. It has been an honor and a privilege to have served the communities of Lincoln and Sudbury for the last 12 years. I believe, in that time, I have been able to make a difference. I hope you consider voting for me for the L-S School Committee on Monday, March 28.
As in 2010 when I was first elected, we are again facing uncertain times; this time we are entering a post-pandemic era, with a growing war in Europe and with the economic threat of rising inflation. As before, I promise to provide steady, bold, and reasoned leadership.
As a community of teaching and learning, we must prioritize our mission: the development and education of our communities’ students. It is our public charge to provide the best possible education for all of the students who enter our doors. There is perhaps no mission more important.
We must provide a safe, supportive, and sustainable environment for this period of developmental growth for our students. In order to do so, we need the appropriate resources and responsible financial management, a faculty and administration who bring educational and administrative excellence. We as a high school and a community need to work together to provide a safe environment and to inspire our children with a sense of grit and optimism toward their learning here and in their lives beyond these walls.
We as a school need to remember we serve the community in this role. And in service, we work together with the community, the families of our students, and the taxpayers and always remain sensitive to the needs of the community.
While we have the tools to guide and develop our students, our families depend upon us to heed their concerns and the taxpayers require us to manage their resources responsibly and efficiently.
I promise to serve the community openly, honestly, and always with a sense of urgency. You have entrusted this committee with tremendous responsibility. I hope to earn your trust once again. Please vote for me on March 28.
