During the 2005 school-committee election season, most candidates stated that they believed the quality of education in Medford was good and that there were few lessons to be learned from other communities' school systems. Yet as many as 1 in 5 Medford students attend private institutions, and our schools consistently place in the middle of state school rankings. How can the school committee improve the quality of education in Medford and what leadership role are you prepared to assume? Please be specific.
