To the Editor:
Old Lyme residents have a dynamic and highly competent slate of Democratic candidates for the Lyme-Old Lyme Board of Education. Included in this group is a former colleague of mine, Dr. Peter Hunt, whom I enthusiastically endorse.
I worked with Dr. Hunt for fifteen years and have great respect for his skill and wisdom as a school psychologist and educator. Dr. Hunt’s 35 years of training and experience in education and child health care will serve the Board—and, therefore, the school district—very well. His principal educational goal is to make sure that children are academically and emotionally supported and successful. He demonstrates the ability to work extremely well with school staff and administrators at every level. Dr. Hunt also served on teams that evaluate all characteristics of schools for national accreditation standards, and he consults with schools and school districts statewide.
Dr. Hunt’s approach to our school system will be thoughtful, reasoned, creative and inspired. He will make an invaluable contribution to the Board of Education. I urge you to vote for Peter Hunt and the experienced incumbents, Mimi Roche and Paul Fuchs, on November 3.
Sincerely,
Jeri Baker,
Old Lyme.
