Gould Running For Amherst School Board

By Brian Gould

AMHERST, NH — I am excited to announce my candidacy for the Amherst School Board. As a parent of three children — each attending one of the schools represented by the board — I am deeply invested in the educational success of our students and the growth of our community.

Having lived in Amherst for nearly 16 years, I have seen firsthand how much we all care about providing a quality education for our children. I am committed to being a voice for that shared goal.

In my career as an air traffic controller, I have developed the skills necessary for clear communication, thoughtful decision-making, and working under pressure—qualities I will bring to the school board. I understand the importance of listening to all voices and making decisions that prioritize the needs of our students, teachers, families, and community.

I stand firmly with our teachers and recognize the dedication, hard work, and passion they bring to their careers. Our educators are the backbone of our schools, and I will advocate for the support they deserve.

If elected, I will focus on the following key issues:

• Support for Teachers — Advocating for better resources, professional development, and recognition to ensure our educators have the tools they need to succeed.
• Parent and Student Advocacy — Working closely with parents and teachers to ensure every child’s educational needs are met and their voices are heard.
• Clear Communication — Leveraging my experience in air traffic controller to foster transparency and open dialogue between the school board, schools, and community.
• Commitment to Community Concerns — Actively listening to and valuing the concerns of our community, ensuring that decisions reflect the best interests of our students and families.

I am dedicated to creating a school system that fosters educational excellence while supporting the needs of our students, teachers, and families. I respectfully ask for your support as we work together to build a brighter future for our children.
