We should all be very appreciative of the quality of School Board applicants this year. As a 40-year resident and retired school district administrator, I am well acquainted with many residents’, parents’ and educators’ views.

I would like to endorse Tara Lamar, who is currently running for School Board. She is a highly qualified individual with solid people skills who seeks to reach consensus focused on what is best for children at all levels. She has a track record committed to hard work, weighing all options and never hesitating to work side by side with all concerned.

Please give your careful consideration for the very best candidates for our students, district and town and cast your ballot for Tara Lamar.
