To the editor:
I am writing in support of Gerald Quirk of Sudbury and Nancy Marshall of Lincoln in their bids for reelection to the Lincoln-Sudbury School Committee. Both have given their time selflessly over the past three years and six years respectively, building a strong, healthy relationship between the towns of Sudbury and Lincoln in matters related to LSRHS. Their two spots are up for re-election and a third candidate has put his hat into the ring. Please help ensure that they can continue the hugely productive work they are doing. Most importantly, don’t forget to go to the polls on Monday, March 30 and cast your vote.
During Gerald’s and Nancy’s tenures, Bella Wong has been hired as Superintendent-Principal and the high school’s administrative leadership team has been revitalized. The school now has four houses again, with the reinstatement of North House two years ago. Impressive new leaders have been hired in Finance, Student Services, Curriculum and Athletics. Innovative programs to benefit students with learning challenges have been piloted. Reductions in the district’s health care costs have been achieved over the last two years. Finally, a fiscally conservative teacher contract was negotiated two years ago to allow L-S to begin to restore staff as enrollment has increased. Gerald and Nancy made substantial contributions to these successes.
In Gerald’s words, one of the significant challenges at this time involves adequate funding: “The high school’s enrollment remains at record high levels, and Sudbury must adopt a regular practice of funding our schools in a manner commensurate with shifting enrollment in order to serve our students appropriately.” Gerald and Nancy are the two candidates fully committed to keeping the LS educational experience at its current level of excellence. Please support them with your vote on Monday, March 30.
Sincerely,
Laura Regrut
