Amy Butler died Wednesday from cancer.
The following is from Lincoln-Sudbury Superintendent/Principal Scott Carpenter: One of our teachers, Amy Butler, passed away on February 13th after battling cancer. Her passing brings with it great sadness for many in our school community. Some of our students have lost someone near and dear to them. Our teachers have lost someone who many considered a friend and mentor. Amy joined the Lincoln-Sudbury faculty in 2001 as a special educator. Over the intervening 12 years, Amy helped many struggling students find success in high school. In recent years, she had been working with students in our alternative programs.

The Lincoln-Sudbury superintendent presented Sudbury's FINCOM with a $26.4M budget at Monday night's meeting; says the school needs more to help restore lost positions.
Scott Carpenter wants what is best for the students of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. And according to the superintendent, that mean working with a bigger budget.

Carpenter expressed a need for a"partial restore" budget of $27.2 million to help hire 8.66 new full-time equivalent staff. That would equal almost half of the staff the school lost to budget cuts over the past five years…

I agree with some of "Karoles" points. If everyone is so concerned about what's going on at LS, why didn't anyone step up and run? Rada is a great guy and has been a great volunteer over the years but he's been on the committee a little too long. New blood is a good thing.
