        Our Schools. Our Children. Their Future.

“The philosophy of the classroom in this generation will be the philosophy of government in the next."

Dear Arlington Residents: 
As a longtime Arlington resident and someone who cares deeply about this town, its schools, and its children, I am honored to announce my candidacy for the Arlington School Committee.
This is your opportunity to elect a man who knows and understands this community and wants only the best for our schools and our children.
I bring a wealth of experience to the table from over 15 years as an educator, supervisor, and mentor. Arlington has a well-deserved reputation for excellence and achievement, standards that I am committed to upholding. I have been involved in the development of innovative curriculum, enhancing educational standards, and fostering professional development.
In the midst of trying financial times in our town, it is essential that we elect someone who understands the issues that most affect education. We stand at an important crossroads. I know that I can make a difference now, and in the future, ensuring that our town remains competitive and desirable.
My desire to run for School Committee is rooted in the belief that an educated society is the only guarantee of free, tolerant, and democratic society. Therefore, preserving the integrity of our schools financially and culturally will ensure the education, protection and care of our children, allowing all the opportunity and promise of a hopeful future.
If elected to the Arlington School Committee, I will work every day to earn and hold your trust. I would like to thank you in advance and hope to have your vote on April 6th.


Mr. Michael G. Buckley
