My Turn: Vote Madnick for School Committee

We avidly support Matina Madrick for one of the two open seats on the Lincoln School Committee in the March 27 election. We believe that Matina will be an outstanding member of the School Committee for the following reasons. She brings:

• Passion for understanding education policy and financial data as it relates to educational needs and resources
• Professional experience analyzing the New York City education budget as well as testing and class size data
• Consulting experience in a variety of districts and schools throughout the country
• Understanding of data in the context of the community, the schools and the students
• A vested interest in the schools as a parent of three children in the Lincoln and Lincoln-Sudbury Schools
• Context from having her children in different school systems previously and serving as a volunteer in those systems
• Ability to work collaboratively for change when needed
• Ability to use her interpersonal skills in working with the school committee, administration and Lincoln parents

We are convinced that Matina Madrick would be an excellent addition to the Lincoln School Committee, given her professional and volunteer experiences as well as her passion and enthusiasm for education policy. Please join us and vote for Matina Madrick on March 27 or via mail-in ballot.
