I will encourage a unified and collaborative approach for our district to review and implement policies to improve learning and enrichment deliverables. This is especially important as we transition out of this pandemic and assess the needs of our students and staff.
Having adequate and suitable support in our schools to address the social and emotional needs of all will be crucial as we move forward.
Establishing a safe environment for all students and staff is vital to our community.
From internet threats, intruder protocols, and facility security, assessing the risks and mitigating controls in place to provide a safe atmosphere for all is a priority.
One of my top priorities will be to help our community understand the roles and responsibilities of an elected school committee member. With that, bring clear and transparent communication that bridges gaps between families, teachers, administration, and the community as whole.
The Tewksbury School Committee "has an obligation to determine and assess citizens' desires," and I would like to do that for our community.
I promise that I have the very best intentions for our students, staff, and community.
I promise to be fair, honest and approachable.
I promise to work transparently.
I promise to help educate you as I learn.
I promise to work to build relationships among our administration, elected officials, and staff across all our schools.
I promise that if elected I will work hard to make a difference in our community.
