Opinion: Ritterbusch for School Committee

By contributor,

I am voting for Amy Ritterbusch for School Committee not just because of her initiative and tireless efforts to improve Hopkinton’s schools, but also for her ability to identify and implement solutions.

Amy’s active volunteerism through her nine years as a Hopkinton resident, which includes attending school committee meetings and serving as an HPTA volunteer at several schools, gives her a clear understanding of how our school system works.

As communications chair, Amy succeeded in streamlining many of the HPTA’s technology processes. She also skillfully managed a staff to efficiently communicate all of the organization’s efforts to support our schools. These experiences have given her a first-hand look at school processes and procedures.

Her work as a founding member of Educate Hopkinton, an organization that informs our residents on Hopkinton’s budget processes and financial needs, has helped Amy become familiar with the inner workings of the town’s government and issues.

We need Amy to be our School Committee representative because she will go above and beyond what she already understands of our town’s schools to improve them for current and future students and families.

Amy is a staunch supporter of issues that will move our schools forward. She will work diligently with parents, school administrators, teachers and town officials to ensure that Hopkinton continues to have one the best school systems in our state.

Please join me in electing Amy Ritterbusch to the Hopkinton School Committee on May 20.
