POLICY POSITIONS

 

KEEPING CHECKING BACK

I WILL BE UPDATING THIS PAGE FREQUENTLY

 

I was unable to attend the Coolidge Corner South Side Neighborhood Association candidates forum. I promised to post answers to their questions on my site. I have marked the responses to those answers below with CCSS. The first question concerned my positions on MCAS and charter schools. Since I had already posted my positions on those matters, I have not prepared new answers. Those positions are also available below.

 

Many of the initial policy statements I am posting here are in response to the PAX questionnaire. The other two major political action committees, the Brookline Civic Association and the Coalition Against Unfair Taxation interview candidates rather than having us complete questionnaires. Consequently, I am unable to post answers to their questions. For the full PAX School Committee questionnaire and my answers, click here.
