How does Peter Morin relate to Braintree?

“My parents taught me the importance of being involved in the community. My mother taught in the Braintree schools, my father was a Town Meeting member. Braintree Schools gave me the educational foundation to go to a great college and later to law school. My wife Amy-also a lifelong Braintree resident -and I raised our children here and our three boys attended Braintree schools, went on to graduate college and have successfully started their careers.  I want to continue my work as District 6 Councilor to ensure the opportunities that two generations of my family have had in Braintree are available for future generations.”

How does Peter Morin plan to invest in Braintree schools?

 My wife, our three children, and I, all attended Braintree Public Schools. I'm proud to have shared a role in both keeping Highlands open and building new middle schools, but work remains to be done. Highlands, our five other elementary schools, and the high school will all benefit from continued improvements. As District 6 Councilor, I worked with Mayor Joyce to adopt a Special Education Stabilization Fund. This establishes a reserve that can supplement the school budget if necessary.

How does Peter Morin plan to improve the budget?

Braintree has once again balanced the budget. This budget isn’t perfect, but it is a step forward; and it is a substantial measure of positive progress from where we were last year. We can build on these improvements and should grow our free cash so we are able to fund one-time capital projects and manage unexpected expenses.
