Barbara Davis, a candidate for re-election to the School Committee believes that one very important facet of a school committee is to advocate for the public schools and its students. “As a School Committee member and current Chairperson, I have always been an outspoken advocate of public education in Holbrook and the students and their families.”
Here are some comments from some public school parents on this issue:
“We are confident that Barbara has and will continue to make decisions based solely on what is best for the children of Holbrook.” Charles and Patricia Greely
“Barbara is at most if not all school functions. She does her homework and is always well informed. She goes the extra mile to help make the school a better place for our children.” Karen Delrosso
“Barbara Davis has worked tirelessly as a school committee member for years…the passion with which she discusses key issues affecting our schools… Barbara forms her opinions and makes decisions based on fact, rather than popular misperceptions, and she observes and listens with open ears and an open mind.” Robin Grant
And Jodi Kenneally says, “I realize how much she cares for the well-being of our schools and the children in it! She is highly visible at all activities, and often puts her own plans on hold to do what is best for the district. I have also witnessed her hard work in helping to change things up at the high school by working closely with the administrative staff to give the staff what is needed and as a result, the high school is a better place to be. I know that Barbara will get my vote on April 5th so that she can continue to fight for a school that has given so much to my children!”
Good schools mean higher property values and a lower tax rate. Poor and inadequate schools mean lower property values. Good schools mean having all the proper facilities for all the programs necessary to ensure success for all our students. The public school students of Holbrook have a right to a public school system which provides them with all the updated tools and facilities necessary to become productive members of society. Students in small towns like Holbrook deserve the same opportunities as students in more affluent communities. Our children’s quality of life will be affected by their school system. By investing in our schools, we are investing in our community. We, as a town, need to support this investment because it’s the right thing to do.
The public school students of Holbrook deserve someone who will advocate and fight for them. I will continue to ensure our students get the best education possible to allow them to compete successfully in the 21st century.
