To the editor:
As a former MPS teacher, I enthusiastically support Kate Schmeckpeper’s candidacy for School Committee. Her unwavering dedication to our students, demonstrated through her years of active involvement as a parent, is truly commendable. I’ve been particularly impressed by her clear priorities: refocusing on student achievement, ensuring responsible fiscal management, and improving the School Committee’s engagement with the public. These are critical areas that demand attention, and I’m confident that Kate Schmeckpeper’s experience and commitment will bring a fresh and valuable perspective to the board. She understands the importance of both academic excellence and community collaboration, making her an ideal advocate for our children and our schools.
