Every Child: Seen, Supported, Challenged
I’m running for School Committee as an educator, a parent, and a committed member of this community. I believe deeply in public education, in civic engagement, and in showing up to do the work. Brookline is an exceptional district, and I want to help ensure it continues to grow stronger—serving every student with excellence, care, and purpose.
“I strongly support Laura Baines-Walsh for School Committee. She is an experienced, accomplished teacher who embraces all students and their individual needs and talents. She is a Brookline parent, deeply committed to our schools. And she is a really good person. Please vote for Laura!”
- Bob Weintraub, School Committee and TMM Pct 9
“Laura is a veteran teacher and knows what it takes to make schools work. She'll be a great addition to our School Committee.”
- Gary Shiffman, former BHS Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator, TMM Pct 9
“Laura is exactly what the Town needs on the School Committee. Her intelligence and measured, thoughtful response to challenges is something the Town would greatly benefit from!”

“Laura is deeply committed to Brookline and its schools. As a Town Meeting Member for seven years and a parent in the Brookline Public Schools, she understands our community from multiple perspectives. I know Laura as both a parent and an educator, and her experience and vision will help move the district forward.”
