I’ve known Eileen in many school and town-related capacities over the years. She brings to her School Committee candidacy a PhD in Education, an involvement in the Lexington elementary, middle and high schools, and a desire to help students and parents manage the challenging demands of the Lexington school curriculum and system. She has been very involved with site-based school councils and with school committee members, especially participating in the search and decision to bring on our new superintendent. These varied experiences put her in a great position to represent our community well on the SC. What particularly stands out about her is a desire to listen and learn, and to engage our parents and community in the issues and challenges that face our already great schools. She has her own strong beliefs and works to seek understanding and consensus among parents and peers. She understands and takes into consideration the diverse views and needs of our town. Our Lexington community would be well served by engaging and leveraging her talents for our schools. Do stand with me to vote for Eileen on March 1.
