The following was submitted by Julie Broussard, running for re-election to the Wilmington School Committee

Wilmington School Committee Secretary Julie Broussard thanks the community of Wilmington for trusting her with another term.

“It’s been an honor to serve the children of Wilmington on the committee. Along with Superintendent DeLai, we have a great team of caring individuals supporting the Mission and Core Values of Wilmington Public Schools. While we have built momentum towards our strategic objectives and priorities, there is still work to be done. Through my efforts these past 3 years, I hope I have gained your trust and earned your support for another 3 years.”

During her service, Broussard led the committee’s search for a new Superintendent after Ms. DeLai’s predecessor retired. She was part of the School Committee handbook revision team. She continues to chair the Superintendent Evaluation subcommittee.

“For every policy discussion we have, every vote we take, every project we tackle, my responsibility is to the children of Wilmington. I believe public education should be inclusive, challenging, individualized, safe and supportive for our children. I am a voice for ALL Wilmington children.”

Julie Broussard was first elected to the Wilmington School Committee in 2013 and is a representative to Wilmington Educational Foundation and the District Advisory Committee. She is a volunteer for the Wilmington Food Pantry. Julie and her husband Tom made Wilmington their home in 1999. Their daughter Alyson is a 7th grader at Wilmington Middle School.
