On March 25th you have an important choice to influence the future of our schools by choosing two new members of the School Committee.

Years ago, before Suzanne and I had children, we chose North Andover for one important reason - the quality of the public school system. Now that we have a son at the Atkinson Elementary, and another entering shortly, I've seen the challenges and problems our schools face.

As a Financial Services Executive I've spent my entire career problem solving. I would like to bring that skill to our schools and our town. I offer my expertise to work as a solutions oriented professional, as a citizen, and most importantly as a parent. Sticking with a proven "Best Practices" process is vital.

I would begin by:

1) Engendering open and thoughtful discussion of priorities.
2) Identify the potential roadblocks to, and prospective resources for achieving the priorities.
3) Set benchmarks to monitor and evaluate progress towards the priorities.

In my profession I have been a "solutions driven" manager. I believe a positive, can do attitude is vital to making the right choices for our schools. Schools burdened by underfunded federal mandates, the strain of increased class sizes, and the competition for quality teachers. Yet I've also seen the tremendous commitment of the parents, teachers, and our Superintendent.
