Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Please see the below information as submitted by Ruth Lynch, candidate for
re-election to the School Committee.
Ruth A. Lynch
Re-elect to School Committee
I would welcome the opportunity to continue to serve Hanover as a member of
the School Committee. Four years ago I was appointed to fill a vacancy.
The next year I was elected to serve on the School Committee. I have
served as Vice-Chairperson for the past two years.
One of the reasons that I’ve chosen to run for office again is to
continue to work with Superintendent Matthew Ferron and his incredible
administrative team. I appreciate and value the vision developed by our
Superintendent. He is committed to creating and maintaining a level of
educational excellence that all students deserve. Working with him and his
dedicated staff has reaffirmed for me that the Hanover school system must
continue to prepare all students for the 21st century. If you have not had
the opportunity to visit our schools lately, I would encourage you to
attend one of the many events held at our different schools. Just check
the on-line district calendar. I’m sure you’ll come away with an
incredible sense of how amazing and talented our youngsters are under the
direction of teachers who honestly care about their students.
My husband and I have lived in Hanover for over 45 years. All three of our
children graduated from Hanover High. With the skills and knowledge they
developed during their years in the Hanover schools, they were prepared for
college and a career. I will work to ensure that the same opportunity is
available for all the children of our town.
One of the most important responsibilities of the committee is to approve
the school department budget. After a great deal of preparation by the
superintendent and his staff, the School Committee just recently passed the
2018 budget. It is my hope that the town of Hanover will continue to
support our schools. Not only is it the responsibility of the committee to
provide for our student’s academic needs, but we must also meet the other
components of a total education. The fine arts programs, the music
programs and educational athletics are all a critical part of a student’s
education. I would be committed to ensure that the Hanover Schools provide
the very best for the children of our town.
With my background as an educator, I believe that my perspective and
experience has been helpful to the committee. I was a teacher for 11 years
and then became a high school principal. My most recent position was the
principal of our neighboring community, Pembroke. It was a special
opportunity to be part of a new school system.
After 28 wonderful years working in schools, I retired six years ago.
Since my retirement, I have been involved in several projects; however,
serving our town has been the most satisfying. I hope to be re-elected to
the School Committee so that I can continue to serve. I have always been
proud to be a Hanoverian!
