HERE'S THE RELEASE THAT NEVER GOT RELEASED, YOU KNOW "ITEMIZED"

At first, Lynn School Committee candidate Stan Wotring was reluctant to run for office.“I felt I could have more influence outside of office writing,” Wotring maintained. He writes the often controversial blog Lynn School Watch. The Watch is a mixture of poetry, fiction,  and up to date information about the schools and education that readers have a hard time finding anywhere else.

Wotring has attended almost all of the school committee meetings the past year, usually occupying his familiar seat in the front row of the audience. He also attends Meetings for the Highlands Coalition, The New Lynn Coalition *both of which he serves on the Board of Directors), he has been involved with SPED
-PAC and was a volunteer librarian at Ford School for a year. Wotring also helped to start the newspaper at Ford.

With the help of current committee member Donna Coppola, Wotring brought together GM Bill Terlecky of the North Shore Navigators and LPS Superintendent Cathe Latham who organized a special School Day where some 1800 fifth graders from all across the city were bused to Fraser Field on June 6 to watch a special exhibition game.

Back in West Virginia Wesleyan College in 1981, Stan was left in a coma for eleven days after a car accident. Undeterred by his new found disabilities, Stan received his bachelors four years  later, not even missing a year of school. His career path has taken some twists and turns over the years but he has always kept focused on the need to help others.

After retiring on disability from the Department of Developmental Services, three years ago Wotring[i] served a year in an unpaid capacity as the first chairman of the newly formed Lynn Disability Commission. Wotring resigned after a very successful first year because he felt he could better serve a wider range of people than only one community.

Wotring brings that passion to his fight to see that everyone is getting a quality education. “I have made overcoming challenges my life’s work and I hope to bring that skill set to the Lynn Public Schools. Heavens knows, we got challenges”.

To learn more about his candidacy, Wotring suggests going ti his blog, Lynn School Watch where he hopes you will both be informed and entertained. Life is too serious to always be serious,” he maintains.
“Still, everybody needs to be accountable.”
