To the editor:
I would like to announce that I will not run for re-election to the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School Committee. I have been humbled by the support of the citizens of Lincoln and Sudbury over the past 12 years and four terms in service of the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School District.
Any good that has come out of my terms is due to working with my wonderful colleagues over the years on the L-S School Committee, the collaboration with remarkable volunteer politicians and appointed officials on various boards and committees, and exemplary public servants of both towns. Their continued hard work towards the benefit of our schools and towns inspires me.
Lincoln-Sudbury is the crown jewel of our communities. It is my hope that it remains so. We are fortunate to have highly talented, dedicated staff, faculty, and administrators at L-S. Their daily work keeps LS what it is — a different kind of place, singularly devoted with kindness and compassion to the growth and well-being of all students, all the while maintaining an uncompromising goal of academic excellence. The day any organization rests on its laurels is the day it starts to decline. I am happy to report that at L-S, there is desire, capacity, and action to innovate.
If you believe in public education where all students are cared for, if you are able to devote the necessary time, and if you have the passion to serve, please do consider running for the L-S School Committee.
Even as I step down from the L-S School Committee, I hope to remain in the public arena. Henry David Thoreau asks in Walden, “How can he remember well his ignorance — which his growth requires — who has so often to use his knowledge?” I will use my time away to learn about my ignorances so I can grow.
Sincerely,
Radha Raman Gargeya
