Dear neighbors, As we move into March, I am writing to announce my candidacy for the Lincoln Sudbury District School Committee for which elections will be held at the end of the month.
I have lived in Lincoln since the spring of 2012 and currently have two children at the Lincoln Schools, with my eldest headed to LSRHS next fall. Both of my children have benefited enormously from their time at the Lincoln School – they have been inspired by excellent teachers, developed strong friendships, participated in musical performances, and joined sports teams. Their experiences have made me alert to the many ways in which we as a community support and nurture our children as they grow, the critical role that public education can play in that process, and the responsibility that we have as members of the community to ensure a vibrant, inclusive, rigorous, and innovative school system. To that end, I have supported the Lincoln School in several volunteer positions. I am currently the School Committee appointee to the Library Board (2019–present). In that role, I support the operations of the library and serve as a liaison between the School Committee and the library. I also served as a member at large and Grant Chair for the Lincoln School Foundation (from 2014–18). In that role, I had the opportunity to work closely with the faculty and administration on the launch of a variety of programs and projects in support of deeper learning. Education is also central to my professional life. I am an Associate Professor of Architectural History at Northeastern University where, in addition to teaching, I manage undergraduate programs and have served as Chair of the School of Architecture. In these roles, I am engaged in curriculum and program development, faculty assessment, budget preparation, staff reviews, hiring of faculty and staff, and student engagement and support. These experiences have taught me how to effectively navigate complex bureaucracies, to balance conflicting priorities, and to work collaboratively. As a member of the Lincoln Sudbury School Committee, I look forward to helping shape the future of LS as the school transitions to new leadership at a critical time in the institution’s history. I will also aim to foster an environment of thoughtful, respectful, transparent, and collegial participation and debate within the School Committee. More broadly, I will advocate for the various stake holders–especially students, but also parents, faculty, and staff–each of which are critical to the success of LS; work to maintain the excellence of the many programs that LS supports; and facilitate communication and engagement among Lincoln, Sudbury, and Boston to collaboratively impact the broad LS community. It has been a great pleasure to volunteer in Lincoln and I would like to continue that work as a member of the Lincoln Sudbury School Committee. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your ideas and concerns, and I hope that you will consider voting for me on March 27. Best, Lucy Maulsby 30 Tower Rd.
