Opinion

Sudbury Special Town Meeting
Having lived in Sudbury for sixty years and attended most Town Meetings, I’m appalled at what I witnessed at our Special Town Meeting.   I could not believe the booing, the disruption and the nastiness that was shown by some Sudbury citizens attending the meeting.  I felt for our Moderator who tried to control the meeting to…
Letter to the Editor
Although Sudbury has clung proudly to the tradition of open town meeting, the proceedings and attendance at our recent Annual Town Meeting (May 4 – 6) and the May 20 Special Town Meeting indicate that we Sudbury residents are misusing our legislative body and disdaining other functions of town government. Attendance at these two…
Opinion on Special Town Meeting Process and Decorum
Dear Fellow Sudbury Residents I have been a resident of Sudbury for 40 years and have attended most town meetings.  I’ve never experienced such disrespect and disregard for the process as I did at the Special Town Meeting on May 20.  Most importantly, I find it incredibly hypocritical that the call for the question on Article…

I support our school committee, which continues to do great work to support our students’ academic success and wellbeing while remaining fiscally responsible in a pressured budgetary environment. As a family that utilizes Sudbury…
Support for the School Committee
I am forever appreciative of the work the Sudbury School Committee has undertaken this year. They voiced concern and demanded accountability and solutions for the superintendent's decision to wipe out longstanding summer programming, even for students already enrolled, without consulting staff, the school committee, or families. They also spent countless hours finalizing long awaited teacher and…
Let’s Get Back To Work… Together
To the editor, Sudbury’s schools have been caught in a long cycle of budget crises, staff cuts, and funding disputes. Much of this stems from years of difficulty and infighting within past school committees, which contributed to conflict and eroded trust. That internal division has fueled unproductive rhetoric, distracted from solving core problems, and…
