Please join me in voting to re-elect Jeff Thielman to the Arlington School Committee. We need Jeff’s six years serving on the School Committee now more than ever to provide leadership during these uncertain economic times.

Jeff is determined to stay focused on providing as much direct student services as possible to our students even when budgets must be trimmed. Jeff has used and will continue to use his professional experience creating schools in underserved areas, to work with his colleagues on the School Committee to ensure that all of Arlington’s children receive the finest education we can offer.

Jeff’s young children will be in the APS soon, but in the meantime I am thankful that he gives freely of his time and talent so that other children (mine included) benefit from his hard work. Jeff is a positive voice for Arlington’s children; please cast one of your two votes for Jeff on April 4. Thank you.
