I am writing this letter on behalf of Alison Rutley. She is an incumbent candidate for the Sharon School Committee. I have personally worked with Alison on district initiatives before she took public office. As co-president of the Advocates for Children’s Education in Sharon, her organizational and effective advocacy skills made her a leader in supporting what was in the best interest of all of our children. She worked tirelessly as a volunteer and champion of public schools. Alison was vital in getting the override for the schools passed.

Recently as a School Committee member and Chair of the Public Relations Subcommittee, one of Alison’s responsibilities was to educate the community on the Sharon Middle School project. I worked with Alison as she reached out to the whole district in order to get our input on this project. She collaborated with many community groups in order to run meaningful informational sessions and to produce factual data that eventually contributed to the successful passage of the project.

The election is on May 18th. Please join me in supporting Alison Rutley for School Committee.
