I enthusiastically endorse Jeanne Downs and Barb Fletcher for School Committee!

 

Jeanne Downs’ longstanding involvement as a respected and committed leader and volunteer, at all levels of the Wayland school system, offers the school committee and our community an understanding of school workings from the inside out.  She has a strong record of leadership as PTO chair of the Middle School and High School boards.  Jeanne’s interaction with parents and administrators is always handled with her signature positive energy, respect, thoughtful consideration and patience.   She has an open ear to ideas and conducts a thoughtful, effective execution of tasks.

Barb Fletcher has tirelessly worked on behalf of our community’s children for the past nine years as a Wayland School Committee member.  Barb’s attention to detail, her institutional knowledge, her willingness to take a fresh look at issues as they arise and her understanding of budget and contract issues brings vital expertise to that board.

Jeanne has all the skills necessary to sit at the School Committee table and handle the rigors of budget and program analysis.  Jeanne also has the warmth and strength to deal with complex issues district wide.  She has stellar interpersonal skills and a broad-based school knowledge to support our hardworking superintendent, interact effectively with administrators and teachers, listen carefully to the concerns of parents and ultimately champion all our town’s children to ensure continuation of our wonderful school system in Wayland.

 

Barb has proven her expertise around the table over and over again!  While participating in contract negotiations and championing our teachers, staff and administration in a respectful way over the years, she continues to work through challenging issues with such a steady and thoughtful demeanor.   Thank you, Barb, for your tireless service and your enthusiasm for continuing again in this important role in town!!!

 

Please join me in voting for Jeanne Downs and Barb Fletcher on April 1. 

Your vote at the polls matters!
