My name is Ben Mayerson, and I seek a second term to serve as your Gorham representative on the Gorham Randolph Shelburne Cooperative School Board. I am the father of two. One is a graduate of the Gorham Middle High School, and another will be graduating in the future. My community ties and residency go back to well before the GRS Cooperative was formed.
Iâve served the GRS for many years, in many roles. I chaired the building committee in the mid-2000s, resulting in much needed renovations of Gorham Middle High School and Ed Fenn School. We were close to losing our accreditation due to poor facility conditions. The committeeâs efforts led to modernizing systems at both schools. Now GMHS is safer, better laid out, and has state-of-the-art science labs. A dedicated group of citizens worked together, balancing the wants and needs, while listening to you. The commitment continues yearly with investments in repairs and improvements.
