Eileen Jay is a highly educated member of the Lexington School Committee, having been chair and vice chair during her tenure. She is committed to the intellectual, social\u00a0and emotional development of all students as evidenced by her leadership in these positions. I witnessed these when I was chair of the committee a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, Eileen is an active listener who encourages different perspectives and options of colleagues and the community before she casts a vote. She is a life long learner experienced in education research and effective teaching and learning. Her focus is to support the development of skills and interests of all Lexington students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a superintendent of schools for 14 years, including one year as interim superintendent of LPS after my retirement, I appreciate the importance of a highly functioning school committee. We live at a time when the nature of traditional schooling, as we knew it, is quite different for today\u2019s students, staff\u00a0and parents. Eileen is uniquely qualified to address today\u2019s challenges for governing policies. I encourage\u00a0you to visit her website at\u00a0jayforschoolcommittee.com\u00a0to learn more about why I believe she is deserving of one of your votes for Lexington School Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
