To the editor:
The Lincoln-Sudbury School Committee is losing two long-serving colleagues and this election on March 26 will be crucial in finding strong, thoughtful, and hardworking successors to Nancy Marshall and Gerald Quirk. I am writing this as an individual and not in my capacity as a member of the committee and its current chair, but my experience definitely informs my views. The towns of Lincoln and Sudbury are losing two key committee members, both have been serving on our current contract negotiations committee, so it is clear how critical this election will be to the future of L-S. Our towns need to send the best two candidates to serve for the next three years.
Carole Kasper is from Lincoln and has served her community and Sudbury well. She is a collaborative, dedicated, thoughtful leader and is a candidate at a time when there is much hard work to be done. She has already worked with the LSSC with her service on the L-S School Start Time Subcommittee and was a major force on that committee determining L-S’s need to balance start time and end time with our student’s health needs. Carole has proved her leadership qualities with her work with middle school parents from Lincoln and aiding in the transition of students from Lincoln Middle School to L-S.
Siobhan Hullinger from Sudbury,is well known from the community service she has already done. She serves on three boards in Sudbury: HOPEsudbury, the LSPO, and the L-S Scholarship Fund. She was also elected to and served on L-S School Council and has had three children go through L-S with her last child as a sophomore. She is hard-working, thoughtful, collaborative and best of all, very familiar with the unique culture of L-S. The towns of Lincoln and Sudbury need Siobhan on the L-S School Committee to do the hard work and make the difficult decisions that preserve the excellence in the academic experience for all students and preserve the unique culture that the two towns have fostered in L-S.
Please join me in voting for Carole Kasper and Siobhan Hullinger (a write-in candidate) on March 26. Help keep the L-S School Committee the high-performing team it currently is.
Sincerely,
Kevin J. Matthews
