I am supporting Jean Bertschmann for School Committee because of her proven commitment to excellence in the Hopkinton Schools.
I have worked with Jean in multiple capacities over the past 10 years including serving under her leadership on the Superintendent Steering Committee, co-chairing school fundraising events, and collaborating when our tenures of president of the HPTA and Education Foundation overlapped. I have been impressed with her knowledge of the schools, ability to build consensus, and efficiency in managing tasks.
With the challenges of the current economy and facilities decisions ahead, it is crucial that we continue to explore creative options to maintain excellence in our schools and plan for the future. Jean brings experience, dedication, and innovative thinking to the table. I have watched her listen to our community’s needs and work tirelessly to research solutions and create action steps to move taxpayer priorities forward.
I am grateful that Jean is willing to dedicate three more years to work on behalf of our schools and our children. I look forward to casting my vote for Jean Bertschmann for School Committee on May 21st.
