I support Jeff Thielman for School Committee.

I have enjoyed working with Jeff on various projects over the years. Jeff is caring, ethical, intelligent, organized and very good with people. He is skillful with groups and conducts well-balanced meetings, even with strong personalities, allowing everyone to get a fair hearing.

Jeff has worked hard for the Arlington Public Schools and is dedicated to its excellence. He has been the lead negotiator on two rounds of contract talks with Arlington's teachers, he's helped write many of the district's policies, and he's worked on six school department budgets.

Jeff's experience and contribution are very valuable for Arlington Public Schools.
