Thomas Kennedy doesn’t hesitate when asked about the best part of his new job as a school board member.
He said his goal is to visit two to three schools per week. So far, he has been doing that or more.
“And loving every minute of it,” he said.
Sometimes he chats with the principal or visits a couple of classrooms.

“That’s exactly what I so much wanted,” he said, “and in many ways that’s probably the biggest compliment someone can give me is when they’re coming up to share with me something about the schools — good or bad or just informative.”
