An Exceptional Choice for Regional School Committee

The following is taken directly from the website of Dr. Susan Waters - candidate for election to a 3-year seat on the Tantasqua Regional School Committee. Dr. Waters currently holds a seat - having been appointed this past summer to fill a vacancy and is now seeking election by the voters to this seat. Please review her website susanwaters.org and her credentials, I am confident you will find her extremely qualified. Here is some text from her homepage. 

As parents and the primary stakeholders in your children's education, I recognize the great trust you place in our school system and our school committee in terms of providing the highest and best educational experience possible.  As a parent, I have shared your concerns, hopes, and dreams as my children and I navigated the incredible journey through our exceptional school system. As a grandparent that experience now serves as a road-map to guide my adult children as we embark upon a similar and shared journey.

As a professional educator and program developer, I understand that successful education involves a variety of factors, which incorporate a strong and talented organization, effective time management, appropriate prioritization, results-oriented focus and a high degree of motivation with direct partnership between parents, Educators, Administrators, and School Committee members. Since being appointed to the Tantasqua Regional School Committee in July of 2011, I have carefully and steadfastly reviewed the role our regional school committee fulfills in terms of policy development and the manner by which it engages its responsibility on your behalf in support of your children's education.

I recognize the enormous obligation we have to fulfill the trust you've placed in us as advocates for you and your children's future by ensuring sound policy development, an appropriate annual budget that maximizes performance and success in the most cost-effective manner possible, while simultaneously developing and delivering a meaningful strategic plan by way of system-wide goals and objectives. Equally, I understand the importance of ensuring full accountability within the system by way of solid and measurable performance standards. I am committed to serving you in a manner that is fully transparent and completely accountable, while maintaining absolute accessibility to you at all times.
