From her first days as a student at the former Hardy Elementary School on Lake Street through her graduation from Waltham High School, Jeannette developed a love of learning from her teachers and parents.

One of the reasons Jeannette worked so hard to obtain 90% state funding for the school building projects is she believes that, whether you have children in the schools or not, education plays a significant role in maintaining a vibrant community and providing for a skilled, educated work force.

Jeannette knows that what goes on inside a school building is not only key to a child's learning, but essential for establishing a positive workplace for staff and a welcoming environment to parents.

As your mayor, some of Jeannette's goals will be to:

	Ensure all parents, teachers, staff and administrators are treated fairly and with respect.

	Hire and support the most qualified people.

	Give staff members a fair opportunity to advance.

	Strive for educational excellence rather than mediocrity.

	Support programs designed to meet the needs of all students to prepare them for success on MCAS, for college and/or the workplace.

	Support mentor programs with senior citizens, colleges and the business community.

	Meet quarterly with the city-wide PTO to foster a sense of community and to offer educational opportunities city-wide.

	Provide diligent oversight of the school building projects to ensure completion, both on time and on budget. Taxpayers should not be responsible to pay for the mistakes of contractors or other third parties.

	Ease the burden of state and federal mandates by cooperating with state and federal legislators.

If you have other educational issues that you feel should be addressed, please contact Jeannette at (781) 893-2445.
