I am officially announcing that today I am “soft launching” my campaign for a seat on the Pittsfield School Committee, and I have pulled my nomination papers!
During my term as a student representative to the Pittsfield School Committee, I made a great impact on the role of student representative and how influential that role can be in improving the school experience for all the students in the Pittsfield Public Schools. After I graduated I intended to stay involved with the district, and I decided the best way to stay involved would be to run for a seat on the Pittsfield School Committee.
I am running on a platform that puts the needs of our students first. As a recent former student of the school system, I believe I can bring a unique perspective to the table to improve the Pittsfield Public Schools for all of our students. I am also running on a platform to increase transparency and accountability in the district, while also maintaining the School Committee’s reputation of positively working together to bring change to the school system, even if we all don’t agree on the best path forward. And I am running on a platform to ensure that all of our staff earns a livable wage and to build trust between our teaching and support staff and district administration.
Over the coming weeks I will be preparing for a full campaign launch including a release of my full platform and ways to help support my campaign. In the meantime if you have any questions, want to sign my nomination papers, or want to get involved with my campaign feel free to reach out using my contact information below!
