From “Contested School Committee Races — our picks”

“The director of Community Action Pioneer Valley’s Head Start and early learning programs, Anat Weisenfreund has consistently aimed to get at the “why” behind prominent decision-making in our district. She’s a skilled dialoguer who asks the hard questions and probes when answers fall short. Anat has shown her capacity to lead with compassion and rigor–and Ward 2 should reelect her so she can continue to bring it.”
