ROCKINGHAM-I am writing to request that you write my name in for the three-year seat on the Rockingham Town School Board versus Priscilla Lambert on Election Day, Tuesday, March 4.
This is the seat that I currently hold, but unfortunately I was ill and missed the petition filing deadline in January. I would like to serve the town and the school district for another term in order to continue the important work that the board has embarked upon in the last year. I currently serve as its chair.
This past year, the board adopted a set of goals that has guided our work. These goals include improving student achievement, decreasing the number of student absences, building an affordable budget for the coming year, enhancing board and community communications, effectively maintaining our school buildings, and, in the longer term, expanding student learning opportunities and promoting sustainable schools for Rockingham.
As you can see, this is an extensive and comprehensive set of goals, and we have made progress in many areas. Student absences are down somewhat, and our school buildings remain in excellent condition.
