PERSONAL GOAL AS A MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE: By improving the way we use technology, we can address many challenges in our school system. Technology can help us automate some of our labor-intensive processes. Technology can help the Melrose School Committee and school administrators communicate better with families. Finally, a technology-based curriculum is essential to prepare Melrose graduates for college and beyond. I will continue to work with technology experts in our community as well as the city IT director to find more ways to integrate technology into our public schools.
