Religion is part of history and should be embraced with the same educational opportunity as English, math, or science. As a school committee member, one of the biggest expenditures for Medford is Substitute Teachers. Close to 300K is spent on substitute teachers annually across our school system. My fiduciary duty is to the taxpayers of this city. So if a religious vs. business decision needs to be made or negotiated, my priority is on the financial impact to the taxpayers of this city.
