Editorial: At town meeting, each vote matters; ACSD candidates Whelan-Wuest, Buck stand out

Next Tuesday, March 7, is Town Meeting Day. Many towns have their official meetings on Monday evening March 6, with Australian balloting the next day. 

I am writing to recommend Hildie Stone for the Bridport seat on the Addison Central School District Board.

As a current Board member myself, I know these two will contribute to building healthy, vibrant, and high-achieving schools across our district that our communities can trust and rely on.

I take very seriously my role on the board and understand the importance of providing clean and safe drinking water to our member towns.

As a father of two young children attending school in our district, Chris is fully invested in the future of our schools, the success of our students, and the strength of our towns.

The ACSD school board ballot will be very full this year. I am proud to support Hilda Stone and Ron Makleff.

I do not come to this role with my mind set on solutions. I am open minded and humble about what I need to learn from prior work and others’ expertise.

I feel that Ellen has the skills and temperament to advocate for Cornwall on the board and to work with representatives of the other towns to reach equitable solutions for the stakeholders in this complicated process.

I am writing to express my support for Suzanne Buck on the ACSD Board. I have known Suzanne for a few years now, and currently serve with her on the ACSD Board.

I am writing to urge others in joining me in voting for Ellen Whelan-Wuest in Cornwall, Ron Makleff in Middlebury, and Hilda Stone in Bridport for ACSD Board.

As community members who have endorsed Chris Kramer for ACSD Board, we are writing to provide a bit more context for our endorsements.

Especially as we’re emerging from the pandemic years, we need board members who can refocus on the most important priorities.

I’m voting for Jason Chance for the ACSD School Board on March 7th and I am writing to encourage you to vote for him too.

One candidate that really stands out for me is Ellen Whelan-Wuest from Cornwall.
