WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington School Committee member MJ Byrnes was recently named to the Massachusetts Association of School Committee’s “All-State School Committee.”
“The All-State School Committee is established to annually recognize significant achievement on the part of local school committee members,” according to the Massachusetts Association of School Committee’s announcement. “This recognition is intended to honor school committee members who, during the previous year, have made a significant contribution to their community or their school committee either through specific action or as an inspiration and role model for their peers and constituents.”
Byrnes, the Committee’s longest serving member — now in her 8th year — currently serves as its Secretary and Co-Legislative Representative. She also sits on the School Committee Policy Subcommittee (alternate), Wellness Advisory Committee, and School Committee Handbook/Protocol Committee. Last year, Byrnes was appointed to the Massachusetts Early Education & Care Workforce Council by State Senator Bruce Tarr.
“It goes without saying how truly humbled and honored I am to be recognized by the Association for my work as a Board Member on Wilmington’s School Committee,” responded Byrnes. “It is my belief this achievement was directly made possible through the support and guidance of my colleagues (past and present), District Leadership and most importantly, my family. For this, I am very grateful.”
Brynes will receive her award at the Massachusetts Association of School Committee’s Conference in Hyannis this November.
The only other Wilmington School Committee member to receive this recognition was the late Margaret “Peggy” Kane back in 2009.
