I write to share our support of Ellen Scordino for the open seat on the School Committee.

With young children in Hopkinton’s school system, we have a dedicated interest in selecting the right person for the school committee position. We need a person with foresight who can best fulfill the needs of our community to ensure Hopkinton continues to grow as a top notch school system by the time today’s Center School students reach high school.

On a professional level, Ellen brings years of qualifications to our community. Last year Ellen was voted one of the Top Business Woman in Boston by Boston Business Journal. Our community can benefit from Ellen’s skills as an attorney and her ability to negotiate while asking the right questions. Her aptitude will allow us to diver deeper into issues to help uncover dollars and determine how our budget is best spent. She seeks multiple viewpoints and gets to the bottom of issues quickly. She is one who will listen to opinions and work to get consensus. Her attention to detail will ensure things get done in a timely and accurate manner. She will also promote frank discussion and detailed reports.

On a personal level, I appreciate Ellen’s blunt honesty and respect for others. Her positions are based on what she can do for the community. Ellen has a vested interest in the betterment of our schools as her young Center School children progress through Center, Elmwood, Hopkins, the middle school and finally high school. Ellen has foresight for the future to ensure Hopkinton remains a strong school system, resulting in strong real estate values.

Hopkinton would be lucky to have Ellen serve on our School Committee.

As proud parents of two children in Hopkinton Public Schools, we will be casting our votes for Ellen Scordino on May 20 and I encourage you to do the same.
