JENNY WORKS TIRELESSLY FOR MEDFORD

 
“I am proud of the work I’ve done over the last six years during the most challenging time in the modern history of public education. Medford has moved beyond pandemic funding and said yes to historic investment in our schools.  My work is focused on putting the pieces of a solid foundation in place, and I am ready to see the district and all our students thrive.”​

Jenny has been on the School Committee for 6 years, 4 as the Vice Chair.  In 2024, she was unanimously nominated by the School Committee to chair the Medford Comprehensive High School Building Committee to bring a reimagined MHS to Medford.

Jenny’s Accomplishments 

  • Led efforts for a historic investment in our schools with the passage of two important ballot questions that infuse the school budget with $7 million and end the cycle of cutting and doing less.
