"Chris, as a recent Andover High School graduate with strong roots in the community, will bring an important and fresh perspective of the current state of our schools – both their strengths and weaknesses – as no one else can. He has been actively engaged in our local politics since his years at AHS and I remember being particularly impressed with him when he was still a student at AHS for not only caring enough as a student in our schools to show up to the Town and School Committee meetings, but to stand up and not be afraid to share his ideas and ask the tough questions (in a thoughtful and respectful way at that!). He has consistently pushed for transparency, fiscal responsibility, and academic excellence and these are the values he will bring to the Committee and our schools. As we rebuild and strengthen our schools his first hand perspective will be vital to identifying key issues, where and what is worth investing in given current experiences, understanding what our kids are facing today and how our schools can best support them and creating schools which will not only incapsulate ideals from a teacher and parent perspective, but also that of the school’s biggest stakeholders – its students."
