28 | ACTON-BOXBOROUGH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
ABRSD School Committee
A NOTE FROM ADAM KLEIN, CHAIR This was a challenging yet rewarding year for the school committee, and I want to take a moment to express my thanks for the amazing dedication of our teachers, staff, administration, and committee members. This year brings the retirement of two committee members. Nora Shine finished out her term as chair of the Policy sub-committee. Her time on the committee was instrumental to helping raise awareness of the advertising practices of some of the software platforms with which our students interact. John Petersen leaves us after his return to the committee and his service on the budget subcommittee, and as chair of the Health Insurance Trust. John’s thoughtful missives on budgetary practices and love of poetry will be missed. Of course, I also want to thank the communities of Acton and Boxborough for your continued support of our school district and students. Best Regards, Adam
