Darien Letter To The Editor: A Total Community Collaboration

The following letter to the editor was submitted by Barbara Thorne on Sept. 2, 2021:

To the editor,

DPS IS BACK!!!

This represents a total community collaboration and two candidates -Julie Best and Stacey Tié - have demonstrated how to accomplish this.

Years of volunteering has resulted in strong connections to the community beyond boundaries of school and the RTM. Their actions and words create a positive platform for exchange of information and ideas.

Beyond special interests and single issues they encompass the entire education system with a goal to build even better. I have recently been impressed with encouraged access to shared resources - podcast, access to state resources, CSDE, office of emergency management, and local strategic plan and budget issues.

Stacey and Julie demonstrate intelligence, cooperation, coordination, communication, and will hit the ground running.
