Someone posted yesterday about supporting pro-math School Committee candidates. In support of this, I'm providing here the slate of candidates recommended by the Cambridge Advanced Learners Association, a parent group that works to support students of every race, ethnicity and background who are in need of advanced learning.

________________________

We believe that electing committee members who treat advanced learning as a primary issue is our best hope for making progress on advanced learning in CPS. We’ve spoken directly with several School Committee candidates who are committed to advanced learning and encourage you to vote for the following:

• #1: Elizabeth Hudson – late to the campaign (she just had a baby two months ago!), but ensuring that CPS brings back advanced math is the tagline of her campaign (video intro, website).

• #2: Eugenia Schraa Huh – has been publicly devoted to this issue and a big supporter of Algebra 1 in our middle schools (it’s on her t-shirt!) (video intro, website).

• #3: David Weinstein (incumbent) – played a central role in bringing Algebra 1 back to the middle schools, has spoken publicly about wanting to eliminate ceilings at CPS, and recently scheduled a subcommittee meeting about advanced learning (video intro, website).  This was the first public meeting to address advanced learning in recent memory.

Rachel Weinstein and Carolyn Hunter are also vocal advocates for Algebra 1 in 8th grade, so we suggest them as #4 and #5. Jose Luis Rojas has expressed general support for advanced math, so we suggest him for #6.
