Accountant and local mom Rebecca Stronck is running for one of two seats on the North Andover School Committee, a campaign she says was ignited by the current COVID-19 crisis and related school closures.
“The seed was planted in my mind when I watched my own children’s academic spirit start to deteriorate under the current method,” Stronck said.
Her children Emily, age 10, and Gabriel, age 8 are in fifth grade and third grade, respectively, and they’re in the district’s hybrid learning model attending school some days and having remote learning on others.
“My children love school. They love to learn. They love to be there,” Stronck said. “Socially, emotionally and academically, they weren’t getting challenged and weren’t getting pushed forward to the extent that we wanted them to be.”
