Yes, Jessica, I was talking about the woman who made public comment at WCS.

meeting
Tom, thanks!
Another question: a candidate for School Committee from Northfield
recently spoke up at the committee's meeting at WCS. In her comments she
complained about the *necessity* of re-instating the music teacher to
full-time status at Northfield Elementary.
I believe she's running for the School Committee seat in Northfield.
Who is she? I believe she wouldn't be a favorable candidate for us.
In the past she has spoken in favor of closing the elementary schools in
Warwick and Leyden, if it'll keep programs in Northfield open.
Thanks,
Doc

As many of you know, Warwick residents will be voting on Tuesday for PVRSD
school committee positions in* all 4 district towns. *There are 7
positions to be filled, but only 6 will be on the ballot - 2 from Leyden, 2
from Bernardston, 1 from Northfield and 1 from Warwick. The remaining
position ( a 2 year slot from Warwick) was not filed in time and will be
appointed by the town moderator. Fortunately, Jessica Marshall from town
has stepped forward, offering to serve in that position.
There are contested races for 3 positions. In Bernardston, there are 3
candidates for 2 positions (Jeanne Milton, Aaron Gerry & Mike Townsley).
In Northfield there are 2 candidates for one position (Martha Parker &
Kristen Gonzalez). The uncontested races have Abbi Pratt & Karen O’Neil
on the ballot for 2 positions from Leyden and Sue O'Reilly-McRae running
for one Warwick position.
Many in Warwick are concerned about the ongoing discussion of closing the
Warwick Community School. As you decide who to vote for, you should know
that in a recent Recorder article
<https://www.recorder.com/Contested-seats-for-Pioneer-School-Committee-19771080?fbclid=IwAR3hJk4K__Zu2_xBGaAgeefWfkNy_omcomKcfEFUdcrdBdlyeGGhLyc-U94>,
writer Max Marcus says Mike Townsley from Bernardston "emphasized that as
the budget continues to tighten, it will be preferable to close schools
rather than cut the district’s course offerings." On Thursday, Max Marcus
wrote another article, on the candidate forum
<https://www.recorder.com/Pioneer-candidates-forum-21238866> that
happened this past week. In addition, you can listen/watch to a video
recording of that forum recorded by Bernardston Northfield Community
