What has the school committee done during the past two years that you agree with? What have they done that you disagree with?

The School Committee has done a great job giving students the opportunity to gain college credit while in high school. The way the Committee went along with to redistrict the elementary schools, I disagree with.

What should be done with Bates Mill No. 5?

I agree with the Riverfront Island Master Plan with regard to Bates Mill No. 5. Due to the size of Mill No. 5, most uses are not sustainable.

Any last words?

I am running for the School Committee to bring the voice of a new generation to local government. As my generation, will bear the burden going forth, we should start taking an active part with regards to local governance.
