for Wayland School Committee

Dieffenbach announces candidacy for re-election to the School Committee By Jeff Dieffenbach Wayland Town Crier Thu Feb 26, 2009 I’m writing to announce my candidacy for re-election to the Wayland School Committee. As a town, in a climate of significant financial challenge, we nonetheless welcome the important educational opportunities ahead of us. I place high among these opportunities the continued advancement of excellent teaching, the continued recruitment of first-rate administrators, the continued evolution of strong curricular and co-curricular programs, the continued incorporation of technology, and the continued need for appropriate facilities at the High School and across the district. I use the word "continued" with intent – the Wayland Public Schools deliver an education among the best in the state, in a state that leads the nation, and with a quality that rivals leaders on the international stage. To this task of continual educational improvement and financial management, I bring considerable experience and expertise. Professionally, I manage sales, marketing and product budgets in educational print and technology publishing to serve educators and the children they teach. Avocationally, I have served Wayland’s schoolchildren, their families, and the town as a whole for nine years on the School Committee and five years before that on the Finance Committee. Personally, as a parent with the perspective of children at the High School and Middle School, I love education and apply my energy and integrity in embracing and advancing the public school model. To learn more about my campaign and my thoughts on the Wayland Public Schools, please visit my Web site at www.deepbrook.com/schools. I respectfully ask for your vote on Tuesday, April 7. Thank you.
