To ensure informed decisions, I would first learn as much as I can about all the work the school committee oversees. With my deep expertise in the many areas that the school committee is responsible for, I can immediately start the work. 

I would collaborate with the committee and the superintendent in conducting a comprehensive analysis of student achievement and strategic review of budgets. I would prioritize community engagement and collaborating with groups such as Select Board, Parks and Rec, SEPAC, and DEI, to gain insight into past decisions.  We would work together to continue the positive momentum and prioritize any new issues or opportunities that are identified.

Together, we would advocate for optimal allocation of resources, equitable implementation of policies, assessment of effectiveness of educational initiatives, transparent, two-way communication and trust between the community and the committee, and long-term financial planning to maximize success for all learners and drive continual improvement throughout SPS.
