Letter: Kraft’s Background A ‘Great Resource’

March 6, 2024

Matt Kraft is an outstanding candidate for election to the School Committee. 

He possesses the essential experience and professional credentials so vital to the work of this committee. Matt earned his master’s and doctorate from Harvard. What I believe is particularly significant is that Matt has experience as a former high school teacher. 

His extensive background in the field of education, and his current position as professor of education and economics, will serve as a great resource to our school department and to our town. I am convinced that Matt will bring his vast knowledge and lived experiences to strengthen and improve the effectiveness of committee deliberations.

As the parent of two young children attending the Burbank School, and as a volunteer soccer coach, it is clear that Matt has a long-term commitment to Belmont.
