John J Ryan, Jr for Lincoln-Sudbury School Committee
What Matters
Experience
I have 12 years of experience on the Lincoln-Sudbury School Committee, years of experience as chair of the LS Building Committee and seven years of experience on the Sudbury Finance Committee. As a chair and/or member of these committees I had years of experience with the Lincoln-Sudbury and Sudbury town budgets, issues of state aid to education, teacher negotiations and tough budget and educational policy decisions.
Getting the Job Done
I not only successfully negotiated multiple teacher contracts and helped put together seven Town budgets and twelve LS budgets, but also chaired the committee that completed the new Lincoln-Sudbury High School on time and under budget with 62% state reimbursement.
Having a Stake
I have two daughters that attended and graduated from LS. I also have two granddaughters currently in the Sudbury public schools who will be attending Lincoln-Sudbury.
Supporting Every Student
Lincoln-Sudbury has always been a special kind of place that supports every student. It has always been a place where students think for themselves but think of others. It is a place which fosters caring and cooperative relationships, respects human differences, pursues academic excellence and cultivates community. I will work hard to honor Lincoln-Sudbury’s inclusive traditions, past and present.
