Having served as a member  of the committee with Eileen for two years, I witnessed first hand her  commitment to the advancement of student growth in all areas during that  time. In fact, I know that Eileen has long been an active student  advocate. Her involvement as a volunteer citizen advocating for the  intellectual and emotional well being of all our students even predates  her election to the committee.<br>The role of a school committee is to  work hand in hand with a superintendent to develop and implement clear  policies of the Committee that address challenging and safe procedures  to enhance learning environments for all students and staff. Eileen is  sensitive to the complexities involved in this charge. In addition,  members need to enhance the working relationship with a superintendent  while holding the superintendent to high standards in oversight of a  budget and policies approved by the committee.<br>During this past year  EIleen has served as Chair of the Lexington Committee and established a  positive and collaborative relationship with Dr. Julie Hackett to the  benefit of the school system. I am confident she will continue to serve  at a high level in her role as a school committee member and urge all  voters to vote Eileen to another three year term.<br>Bill Hurley, Young Street<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Bill Hurley, former School Committee Chair I am pleased to write this letter of support for EIleen Jay as candidate for reelection to the Lexington School Committee.
