Eileen Jay has the personal qualities, professional qualifications, and history of service to our community to make her a first-rate member of the School Committee.

I first met Eileen when we were members of a committee planning a memorial to Michael Fiveash, Lexington High School teacher of Latin and mythology.  We were in agreement that Michael was one of the very best teachers we had ever known.  Eileen contributed much to our work.  She listened carefully to other members and made thoughtful comments and suggestions.  She was always willing to take on tasks large and small that needed doing.  The end result was a memorial program in January 2014 at Cary Hall attended by nearly 300 former students, colleagues, parents, and other members of the community.

Eileen, who has a  doctorate in education from Harvard, has worked for twenty years as a parent and community volunteer to help make the Lexington Public Schools the strong institution it is today.  The Ad Hoc Committee for Youth at Risk, Lexington Community Coalition Youth Initiative, Lexington Asian Community Alliance, and the Superintendent Search Committee all benefited from her commitment to our schools and town.

Please join me in supporting Eileen Jay for School Committee.
