I definitely do not fall in the category of most candidates! In 2005, I wrote: I very much favor looking to other communities for ideas. the single most important reason you should vote for me is that I understand that the individual experience of each child, family, and citizen, as they relate to our schools on a daily basis, is critically important. A school system is a dynamic system ever changing and evolving. I bring common sense, respect for all, and an ability to understand different perspectives to my role. I value you input and I listen. I take your experiences, learn from them and say How can we do better? I strive to see to it that the Medford Public Schools are doing better each and every day.
I have worked hard to make the Medford Public Schools an attractive choice for parents although at the same time, I respect those who choose other alternatives. It is a parents’ responsibility to consider the unique needs of their child, it is my responsibility to make sure the public school option is a strong and viable choice.
