I have known Paula for more than 10 years. Our kids go to the same school and we have been friends since we first met in a book club that we both joined. We've discussed schools and education on many, many occasions and I've found her to be very well informed and articulate. If I could pick one 'dream candidate' for the job, it would be Paula. She was a teacher with 'Teach for America', has worked for the Dept of Education and now works in curriculum development for the Arlington Public Schools. A few people that I know that were considering running for the position decided not to because they knew that Paula was the right person for the job. I think this is why she is running unopposed. I have no doubt that she will be a great addition to the school committee.
