I am a member of the board for the Addison Central School District, and am writing to express my support for re-election of current ACSD Board members Amy McGlashan of Ripton and Mary Cullinane of Weybridge.

If you are reading this week’s OpEds seeking advice regarding who deserves your vote in the upcoming local election Tuesday, March 1, I am happy to share my thoughts with you.

In an ever more complex and challenging education landscape in Vermont and Addison County, I strongly endorse Amy McGlashan of Ripton and Mary Cullinane of Weybridge for re-election to their seats on the Addison Central School District board.

I am writing today in support of the reelection of Mary Cullinane and Amy McGlashan to the ACSD School Board.

I feel called to serve on behalf of all students in ACSD, driven by my commitment to address inequities across our district regarding who has access to educational opportunities and whose educational needs are being met.

In Ripton, incumbent Amy McGlashan faces challenger Joanna Doria. In Weybridge, it is incumbent Mary Cullinane vs. challenger Jamie McCallum.

Amy brings experience, commitment and leadership to her work on the ACSD Board.

I have worked alongside Amy McGlashan for over 20 years and write to encourage her re-election to the ACSD School Board.

In the two contested races for the Addison Central School District board, there are two candidates with a demonstrated commitment to this unified school district as a place where all students receive a quality, equitable education.

I currently serve on the Addison Central School Board and want to encourage everyone to become familiar with the work of the ACSD board.
