To the editor:
I am declaring my candidacy as an incumbent for the Lincoln-Sudbury (L-S) School Committee. I have enjoyed serving for nine years on the committee and would be honored and delighted to continue for a fourth term.
I view among the priorities of the L-S School Committee the continued maintenance of high standards of learning, fine teaching and reasonable class sizes for which L-S is known. We must also continue ongoing collaboration with our K-8 feeder schools to strengthen curriculum coordination; establish appropriate models for teacher assignments and teacher loads; and implementation of pertinent mandates from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The committee will continue to balance educational priorities with the available fiscal resources.
Professionally, until recently I was an administrator for the Worcester Public Schools as director of testing and assessment for 15 years. In that position, I oversaw testing programs for both regular and special education students and conducted all data analyses. I have been a member of the faculty at Framingham State University, where I most recently taught a graduate course on research and statistics. In the past, I worked as a statistician in both management and marketing consulting firms.
It has been such a pleasure working with the other five committee members in an atmosphere of trust and collaboration, representing the citizens of both Lincoln and Sudbury, as well as students in the METCO program. I would appreciate your support of my candidacy and am available evenings at 781-259-4347 to answer any questions or discuss any issues you may have. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Patricia Mostue
