Jeff Lucas for Weston's School Committee

Why Vote for Jeff

What's required of the School Committee, I've done in my career

By Massachusetts law, the School Committee is charged with key functions:

planning and implementing policies.
hiring leaders and evaluating their performance.
developing and managing a budget.

I have career experience in each of these functions: I can quickly add value to the committee.

I know change management

The world is becoming more competitive, and Weston's schools will need to adapt. During my career, I led complex organizations with team members dispersed across the U.S. and in China, Australia and Europe. I also supported large-scale change management initiatives. I know what works, and I’ve experienced what doesn’t.

I currently teach our next generation

Having served as an educator in several settings, including Weston’s Field School and Boston College, I understand the joys and challenges of teaching in our community. I also have insights into the rapidly changing skills required of Weston graduates for success in college and beyond.
