Presenting the 2007 School Committee Candidates!

The Candidates' Responses to the CNS Questionnaire

March 31, 2007

Greetings,
Needham is fortunate to have a large field for the School Committee race: five candidates for three three-year seats and two candidates for one one-year seat. To help you learn more about each candidate, CNS compiled a questionnaire to which each candidate took the time to respond. We hope that the responses will help voters learn more about each candidate's priorities, relevant experience and vision for the Needham Public Schools.

CNS would like to thank the candidates for providing our email newsletter subscribers and our website viewers with their thoughtful responses to the questionnaire.

The Yes for Needham Campaign is Underway!

Needham will vote on two ballot questions for the schools on April 10. Question 1 asks for $1.1 million for school operating costs. Question 2 asks for $21 million to fund two middle school projects: a renovation and addition to make High Rock into a sixth-grade center and a technology infrastructure upgrade at Pollard.

The Needham Public Schools website has lots of information about both questions, including a list of cuts if Question 1 fails and some FAQs on the High Rock projects. You can read this information at http://district.needham.k12.ma.us/ssc_ballot_questions_info.htm.

The Yes for Needham Campaign is working to pass both questions. To learn more about the campaign, visit www.YesforNeedham.org.
