I am happy to endorse Sarah Carter for the Lexington School Committee.

Sarah is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and experienced leader who understands both the operations of our schools and the concerns of families across Lexington. But what truly sets her apart is not just her experience—it’s her deep empathy and sharp analytical mind.

Sarah listens—truly listens. When someone comes to her with a concern, they receive her full attention. I know this firsthand. I once unloaded a flood of concerns about multiple constituencies at my usual mile-a-minute speaking pace. Sarah asked just a few clarifying questions, and I assumed only a fraction had registered. But later, when I heard her speak about these issues, I recognized my words—not simply repeated, but processed, synthesized, and framed with clarity. That’s when I realized the depth of her ability to take in complex information, distill it, and make it accessible to others.

This is exactly the kind of leadership we need on the School Committee. In a role that requires balancing the needs of students, families, educators, and administrators, Sarah brings a rare combination of understanding, strategic thinking, and communication skills. Her ability to connect the dots and articulate issues will not only benefit the public, but will also help her colleagues—who all share the goal of doing what’s best for Lexington’s students—by providing well-reasoned, thoughtful synthesis of the challenges we face.

Sarah’s dedication to all students is unwavering. Whether it’s advocating for students with special needs, ensuring that the Lexington High School project is built to serve every learner, or pushing for greater transparency and responsiveness in decision-making, she is committed to making Lexington’s schools stronger for everyone.

With Sarah on the School Committee, we won’t have to wait for someone to get up to speed—she will hit the ground running. Lexington is fortunate to have someone of her caliber willing to serve. Please join me in voting for Sarah Carter for School Committee.
