[LincolnTalk] Jake Lehrhoff for School Commitee
Hi Lincoln neighbors, Over the past month I’ve met so many of you to discuss what matters to you about our school community and so you can learn more about me. I was disappointed that a work trip conflicted with the PTO forum, but am thankful that I’ve been able to grow so many new relationships through this election process. In one forum, I met a group of former educators interested in how we support our teachers. As a former teacher myself, with six years of experience as a middle school English teacher at the Gifford School in Weston, it’s a topic that’s near and dear to me. I’ve seen first-hand that for students to thrive, teachers need to be given the tools for success. The pandemic has driven widespread teacher burnout and has resulted in delayed progress among students in the United States and beyond. As a member of the school committee, I’d want data about both sides of this topic: I’d ensure the administration is systematically deepening their understanding of what our teachers need to succeed and what stands in their way, and I’d look broadly across a variety of student performance measures to understand if and how the administration may need to adjust instruction to meet the needs all of our learners. What I wouldn’t do is propose solutions in search of problems. I met another group passionate about Lincoln’s AIDE work and METCO program. At the PTO forum, there was a question about how each candidate would improve METCO. I see the program as a critical thread in the fabric of our schools and we should be proud that we so actively work to increase the diversity of our community. What I don’t know, candidly, is how to improve the program in Lincoln. Instead, I’d want to hear from the experts: the students and families in the program. I’d like to close by sharing something I said to Lincoln’s very own 8th grade class who is learning civics while developing their own opinions about what makes a good School Committee candidate: If I made a full career out of teaching, I don’t think I would consider running. And if I was always working in research and product development at a tech company, I also don’t think I’d consider running. But between the two experiences I think I have two critical ingredients: - I understand the reality of working in a school across a variety of needs - And I know how thoughtful research and strong communication can drive decisions among a group of leaders And those two experiences have one throughline: it’s through relationships, listening, and empathy that you get things done and can make things better. And that’s what I want to do. Thank you for considering me for this important role. I hope I’ve earned your vote in Monday’s election. Jake Lehrhoff 11 Linway Rd -- The LincolnTalk mailing list.

[LincolnTalk] Matina Madrick for School Committee
Dear Lincoln Talk readers, I am writing to you one last time as a Candidate for Lincoln School Committee (K-8). Over these last few weeks, it has been a great pleasure to meet so many Lincoln residents at various events- in people’s homes, at the dump, running errands, and at the PTO Candidate Forum. I am running for Lincoln School Committee because I love education policy and the work that the School Committee does. I have a longstanding interest in education policy and I have work experience in education budget policy. But most of all, I am excited to serve the community as a member of the School Committee. I am dedicated to our schools and I want the best possible outcomes for all of our students. As a member of the School Committee I would like to work on some of the following priorities: Establishing a budget subcommittee of the SC, similar to the Lincoln-Sudbury School budget subcommittee. A subcommittee, made up of members of the School Committee, school administrators, and potentially town residents could spend more time looking at the details of the school budget and provide more transparency for Lincoln residents. Supporting our educators through competitive compensation, increased PD opportunities, and access to mental health services as we emerge from the pandemic. When my family and I moved to Lincoln during COVID we felt so lucky that our elementary and middle school children could attend school every day. We also realized that without the teachers’ willingness, LPS could not have opened. In preparation for the recent LEA contract negotiations, the SC analyzed surrounding communities’ teacher compensation to ensure that Lincoln is competitive. I would propose the SC continue to update this analysis every year, and look to other ways to attract and retain a diverse and talented workforce. Supporting the district’s important AIDE work. In the survey designed to assess the community’s priorities for the selection of the new Superintendent, the number one priority for residents and educators was that the new superintendent continue the district’s AIDE work. The SC must continue to support the schools as they work to address inequities and foster inclusion in our education system. Emphasizing the importance of high expectations for student achievement - especially in middle school. Over the past several weeks I have heard a lot of discussion about whether or not our middle schoolers are prepared for high school. There are many different opinions on this topic and more information is needed. The SC needs to work with Lincoln-Sudbury to collect information so that our schools know how to best prepare 8th graders for their next educational step. Thank you for the opportunity to run for School Committee and to share my thoughts with you. I hope you will consider voting for me on Monday.
