To the Editor:
This week’s vote by the Representative Town Meeting (RTM) is an investment in the future of our town, our schools, and our children It also sends a strong signal of support to Dr. Palmer, our outstanding new superintendent, and her vision for an academically-thriving, fiscally-disciplined, and kind organization.
We’d like to thank the many, many members of the Westport community, including our wonderful students, who were engaged and effective throughout this budget process.
We also would like to thank all of the hard-working, thoughtful volunteers on the PTA, RTM, and Board of Finance who help keep our schools on a track of continuous improvement. Most importantly, we’d like to thank the truly excellent staff of the Westport Public Schools who meet the mission for our children every day.
