1 YEAR TERM

Sarah MacDonald – In support of Anthony Rodriguez for School Committee

As the parent of a Dedham elementary school student, I have one overarching concern for my son’s education—that Dedham Public Schools help prepare him for the world he will inherit as an adult. I understand that that world is not the world I grew up in and is not even the world we’re experiencing today.

My son’s world will be majority minority, more diverse and integrated than at any time in history. It is a world where digital literacy will be much more important than cursive writing. Our children will inherit a world where there has never been more promise for science to solve the greatest mysteries of human health or more challenging questions about the ethical use of cutting-edge technologies.

Our teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, and support staff are tasked with ensuring all students are prepared to enter that world, to be our leaders of tomorrow. That is no small feat. They need a Dedham School Committee prepared to serve as partners, advocates and leaders today.

That’s why I am supporting Anthony Rodriguez for School Committee (one-year seat.) Anthony has prioritized building healthy learning environments and expanding supports necessary to combat this generation’s growing anxiety and loneliness. He has demonstrated creativity and innovative thinking in his role on the School Building Rehabilitation Committee, stepping up to work on practical solutions to balance the school’s large list of building needs and our community’s concerns about affordability. He has showed up and modeled thoughtful, collaborative leadership, advocating for a bright future for Dedham students.

Please join me in voting for Anthony Rodriguez for School Committee.
