Involvement, Caring, and Follow-Through

The Region 4 Board of Education has responsibility for a $18.5 million budget and will be confronted with many issues over the next several years, not the least of which are declining enrollments and possibly another push for regionalization of the elementary schools.

The position requires a commitment of time and energy. It requires understanding the underlying details and how they fit into the larger picture, a capacity to ask searching questions, and a knack for thinking outside the box when working toward solutions. The role needs individuals with the leadership to address parent, student, and taxpayer concerns in clear and effective ways, and it requires collaboration and a willingness to work across the three towns with whom we share our educational system.

That person is Lori Ann Clymas. She has a record of involvement, caring, and follow-through. She has what it takes to listen and to speak while building consensus, and it’s why I fully endorse her. I encourage your readers to join me in voting for Lori Ann Clymas as Region 4 Board of Education representative.
