School Committee MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRS

WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS

ADAM KLEIN School Committee Chairperson 2024–2025 Looking Back As I reflect on the past school year, I’m proud of the work we’ve done as a School Committee to navigate a challenging budget cycle while keeping student needs at the center. We successfully advocated for increased state funding to protect vital programs and services. Equally, we strengthened communication with our students, staff, families, and the broader community. Our goal was to listen, learn, and share our vision for the future of our schools. I’m deeply grateful for the dedication of our educators, the partner- ship of our families, and the support of our entire community. I’m excited for what’s ahead next year.

TORI CAMPBELL School Committee Chairperson 2025–2026 Looking Ahead Looking ahead, the School Committee will continue engaging with our community to develop a five-year strategic plan and supporting district structure that reflects our shared values and are affordable for our towns. This effort will require listening across differences and building consensus around a common vision. We will also build on last year’s successful advocacy to protect vital programs and work toward a long-term funding solution that aligns with our community’s resources. We look forward to continued partnership with families, educators, and residents, and I’m excited to explore new possibilities for our schools together.
