Thank you for:
-- welcoming me into your homes, schools, workplaces, community gatherings, and houses of worship
-- expressing constructively both your ideas and your concerns about the future of our schools
-- offering yourselves to be part of the solution
Most of all, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve Newton. We have among the best schools in the nation. Let’s ensure that all of our children can reach their full potential by challenging them at every level of learning. To achieve this, we must optimally leverage the creativity, experience, and resources from across our community and beyond to transform our schools and achieve our 21st century vision.
We have lots of hard work to do and I can’t wait to get started.
I look forward to your continued engagement in the weeks and months to come!
Best,
Margie
I
believe our children deserve to be challenged in school--no matter where they are on the learning continuum. With three children
in our school system, we have experienced a school system that aspires to greatness, but lacks the financing and
infrastructure to fully deliver. I will spark innovation and foster change to ensure that Newton delivers on its promise of educational excellence
for our all children while creating fiscal sustainability. I
WANT to make a difference. Why Vote for Me? As a business owner, management executive and a Board leader, I have 20 years of experience helping diverse organizations successfully navigate change, hire visionary leadership, solve complex
organizational problems, and improve their performance within shrinking budgets. When I am on the School Committee, I will challenge assumptions,
make informed decisions, and advocate creative solutions through a transparent and productive public engagement process. Together, we can achieve learning excellence and financial sustainability. We CAN make a difference! I cannot accomplish these goals without your involvement. I look forward to earning your
support and your vote.
Why am I running?
