After serving on the LPS School Committee for the past 6 years, I have made the
decision not seek a third term. It has been an honor to serve and I am grateful
for all I have learned about public school administration, the needs of
students and teachers and I continue to be impressed with the dedication of the
school’s faculty, staff and administration. During my tenure on the School
Committee we have set aspirational strategic goals, funded professional
development to work towards more collaborative teaching practices, deeper
learning, and AIDE, constructed new learning spaces at Hanscom and Lincoln,
updated policies, and navigated a global pandemic.
I believe the district has laid a strong foundation for future success and it
is ready to start the next chapter. Newly elected committee members will have
the opportunity to welcome a new superintendent, determine the next steps in
becoming an Anti-racist district, and work to ensure the vision for our
state-of-the-art schools comes to fruition as faculty strive to provide
engaging learning experiences for all.
As with all town boards, each person contributes so much of themselves and
their expertise and it is the variety of perspectives that brings a balance to
the committee and fosters healthy growth and decision making. I encourage
those interested in the future of our schools to get involved in some way. We
have an amazing town, a strong school system, and it is up to us to keep it
thriving. While it can be a lot of work, you will learn so much about our
schools, grow relationships with dedicated people, and have an opportunity to
shape the future of education in our town. I am proud of the work that has
been done and am excited for what is to come.
