Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

I spent 12 years on school boards in Waterbury-Duxbury (at one point I was on 3 at the same time). Quality education is delivered through a collaborative effort between well-qualified staff and involved families. During my tenure, I'm proud that we hired great staff, and through maximizing state funding, we built an award-winning middle school, and we renovated an historical landmark that is our primary school. We focused on developmentally-appropriate curriculum, including bringing true middle-level education to our children. During my tenure as Board Chair, Crossett Brook Middle School was recognized as a Spotlight School by the New England League of Middle Schools. We achieved these results through a careful balance of strategic investments in areas such as reading and math, while insuring an overall quality and affordable education that our communities continue to support.

My support for education is clear, and I will remain a strong advocate for quality education for all children, including advancing early education opportunities.
