The Northampton School Committee needs people committed to healthy, respectful discourse and practical solutions. Robbie Saner Sullivan is that person. I have known Robbie for 25 years, first as the teacher of one of her children at Jackson Street School, then as a colleague and fellow supporter of our city’s public schools. Her life’s work and commitment to family and community are impressive. She offers a reasoned and practical voice to difficult issues, and listens and works well and thoughtfully with other community members.

Most importantly, she has substantive and achievable ideas for our public schools. Her commitment to civil and genuine dialogue will improve the ability of our School Committee to serve the Northampton public schools. I encourage you to vote for Robbie Saner Sullivan for School Committee at-large member!
