Community Outreach - Nancy Peterson
This group is working to more effectively communicate the budget issues faced by the schools to all citizens who are involved with or have an interest in maintaining the high quality of our schools. Outreach will be responsible for publicity through local newspapers and other media and in particular will work to reach out to families with young children who are new to the school system.

Fundraising - Sarah Gaylord
While many of us involved in SOS are unhappy with the concept of private fundraising for public school education, the severity of the challenges that are currently facing our school district require that we be prepared to initiate a fundraising campaign if necessary. Last spring, the SOS committee was able to efficiently raise over $266,000 from over 374 donors to temporarily reinstate six teaching positions. The contributions also provided funds for technology in the High School and instructional supplies. We used a combination of fund raising strategies including solicitation letters , e-mails, and personal phone calls. We welcome the time and energy of anyone interested in joining our efforts.

Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary - Jeff Hubbard and Whitney Shepard
This committee’s goal is to work cooperatively with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and the Board of Selectmen to find a financial solution to the burden that Hamilton and Wenham taxpayers bear for the 43 Seminary children that currently attend the schools without funding. The committee is also working toward a long-term plan to address the Seminary’s obligation to the school district going forward.

The Override Committee has two primary objectives.. Our first goal is to educate and inform the community about the School Override and what programs, services and staff could be lost if the override does not pass. The second is to remind and motivate people to get out to vote at both the Town Meetings and for the Ballot Votes.
