Your vote for two School Committee members on Tuesday March 25th will shape the future of our children’s education in North Andover.  With child at the Atkinson School, I am a parent committed to serving our children’s needs with a willingness to talk openly and honestly.

 I am a solutions oriented professional.  As a Financial Services Executive I bring strong communication skills and a collaborative approach.  I've spent my entire career problem solving.  These are the skills I’d like to bring to our schools and our town.  As candidate for School Committee I will work to ensure:

• Open Communication 
• Responsible Stewardship
• Our schools are competitive so our town remains attractive

The School Committee serves as the eyes and ears of North Andover for our children's schools.  Our schools are burdened by underfunded federal mandates, the strain of increased class sizes, and the competition for quality teachers.  Hence, three of our greatest priorities are: 

1. Maintaining accreditation of the High School - We must continue to address the recommendations of NEA which include strengthening core curriculum with electives, and accelerating Advanced Placement participation. 
2. Curriculum Coordination for the elementary schools - To ensure consistency and better prepare all students for Middle School. 
3. Contract negotiations - Fair, reasonable, and competitive to keep our teachers as well as hire a top flight permanent Superintendent.

Please contact me for additional perspectives and discussion.

Thank you
