Election 2021: Jessica Waterhouse For South Windsor School Board

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — Democrat Jessica Waterhouse, 49, is running for the Board of Education in South Windsor.

Occupation: Professor

Family: Jake, 20 going to serve in the Army National Guard.

Experience: Vice Chair Board of Education

Family in government: No.

The single biggest issue in town is ______, and I plan to do this about it:

The growing student population. This will need to be closely monitored and determine if the old schools will need to be used.

Critical differences between me and my opponents:

I believe in communication from both sides of the aisle. We need to work together in order for us to meet the needs of the children in our community.

Accomplishments:

I have been the Vice Chair for the last four years. I attend executive meetings and I fill in for the Chairman when needed.

Other issues:

Bringing in a transparent budget. The BOE has the largest part of the town budget. Equity and inclusion for all students.

What else would you like voters to know about you?

I’ve lived in this town most of my life. I love South Windsor and I want to give students opportunities and the best education possible. This is what they deserve.
