Transparency and accountability are critical factors in town and school administration.  They must be balanced with basic privacy rights. In November 2025 I reminded the community that one year earlier senior SPS administrators failed to protect student privacy when they responded to a Boston Globe public records request.  Careless redaction led to some students’…

I’m running for the Sudbury Public Schools Committee because I care deeply about our schools, our town, and the kind of community we want to be for our kids. In late December, I was honored to be appointed to the Committee. Since then, I’ve been listening, learning, and working hard to contribute in a…

To the Editor, I am writing in response to your recent coverage regarding alleged leaks of executive session content involving the Sudbury School Committee.

Dear Editor, Once again, I am writing to thank the residents of Sudbury for demonstrating their community spirit and commitment to sustainability by donating more than 1 million pounds of clothing and household goods to Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries in 2025.  Goodwill is a community-based nonprofit that relies on these donations to support…

There is a small, very vocal, and very well-connected, group of people that view the budget for the town of Sudbury as a zero-sum exercise.  Every dollar that is not spent on the Rail Trail is a dollar that shouldn’t be spent in their opinion.  They tried to prevent the town from purchasing the property…

To: Editor - Sudbury Weekly When I first encountered roadside bike paths was in Lincoln where I lived from 1969-1975 before moving to Sudbury. At that time people understood winter was a different: It was time to get out the cross-country skis and poles (or snowshoes) and use the abundant NE snow for winter…

On November 10, 2025 we contributed an opinion letter to Sudbury Weekly explaining a breach of student privacy made by Sudbury Public Schools (SPS) when they gave poorly redacted documents to the Boston Globe that were published in November 2024.  For many months we had sought an explanation of what the SPS administration was doing…

Most Americans believe US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) tactics are “too tough” and are making communities “less safe.” But how can they voice their concerns with ICE and the Trump administration? One action they can take is to go after the companies that are supporting and abetting the government’s aggressive immigration crackdown. One…
