#1PATTY NOLANSCHOOL COMMITTEE

“Mom”, by Patty’s daughter, aged 7 Patty mails once, and NO robo calls ever!

My broad management experience, analytical ability and insistence on research-based decision-making have made a positive difference. As a result of my leadership, our school district is on the road to greatness.

Examples of concrete positive impact of my work:• comprehensive strategic planning• meaningful program evaluations• greater equity of opportunity• higher expectations• more effective, less punitive discipline policies• teacher and student voice incorporated into decisions

We must teach students skills and content and nurture their social-emotional well-being. My courageous stands and principled votes on tough issues (including transparency in hiring) confirm my independence and commitment to do what is right not just what is easy.

Please endorse my work and vote #1 for me Nov. 7th,

Patty

“Patty Nolan has always impressed me with her commitment, her lively intellect, and her collaborative spirit. Her willingness to take on tough issues and take action, even when it costs her politically, makes her a true leader." Representative, Jon Hecht "Patty does more homework than a high school student taking 3 AP classes. She demands evidence that academic interventions will work before she votes them in. Patty genuinely cares about all children in Cambridge- those who struggle, those who excel, and everyone in-between." Shannon Larkin, CPS and St. Peter's parent "Patty’s depth of knowledge and quality of analysis is impressive. Her insistence on candor and rigor as indispensable conditions for sound policymaking expresses an inspiring combination of realism and faith in the possibility of genuine progress." Dan Penrice, CPS parent Patty Nolan combines a commitment to making the American Dream available to every child with a truckload of common sense and knowledge about what works and what doesn't." Christopher Jencks, Cambridge resident & Harvard professor
