Dear Lincoln neighbors,
My name is Matina Madrick and I am excited to announce my candidacy for one of
the two open seats on the Lincoln School Committee (K-8). My family and I
moved to Lincoln in 2020 with our three children. At the height of the
pandemic, in the fall of 2020, our daughter entered LS and our two sons entered
Lincoln Public Schools – one in middle school and the younger in elementary.
We felt incredibly lucky to be in a community where our elementary and middle
school children were able to attend school every day during the 2020-21 school
year.
We were attracted to Lincoln because of its beauty and small town feel, while
still being so close to my husband’s job and all that Boston has to offer. Now
that we have settled in Lincoln, we feel fortunate to be in a community that
places such a high value on public education.
In each school that our children have attended, I have sought ways to be
involved. I have served as a room parent, as a classroom assistant, and I have
volunteered for special events. Here in Lincoln, I am currently serving as the
PTO Enrichment Rep for the 3rd grade. Last school year, I also had the
opportunity to volunteer on the 8th grade graduation committee, which was a lot
of fun.
The education of our children is one of our highest priorities as parents, but
I also have a deep interest and love for education policy that began before
starting a family. I hold a Master’s Degree in Public Policy and Economics,
and following completion of my degree, I became the sole education analyst in
the Independent Budget Office of New York City. In this role, I was exposed to
all levels of school finance issues as well as other policy issues such as
class size. While raising my family, I have worked part-time for several
education consulting firms working with schools and districts across the
country.
I would love the opportunity to serve the Lincoln community by becoming a
School Committee member. The work of the School Committee is both fascinating
and important and I can think of no better way for me to contribute to the
local community.
I welcome any opportunity to connect with Lincolnites before the election and I
hope you will consider voting for me on March 27th.
Thank you,
Matina Madrick
