KATHY FOX ALFANO
FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE
Education & Libraries
Educational Priorities
​Massachusetts ranks among the best states for education in the country. We must continue to invest in our future.
Listen to Educators
Legislators must listen to teachers, they are our boots on the ground, they understand how we can continue to improve education for all students.
We must pay our teachers as critical contributors to our society.
Public Libraries
As Chair of the Jonathan Bourne Public Library, Kathy truly supports our libraries as gems of our towns. Kathy instigated the current drive toward renovating or rebuilding Bourne's 100 year old library building. Bourne is currently working with architects to implement a Library Feasibility study to gather community input and research potential design and costs.
Kathy will advocate for EV Chargers at every public library... where better to spend some time?
Kathy will advocate for state funded and managed procurement of E-books to stretch Library budgets farther. Currently a library purchases an e- book (grown exponentially in popularity) for $75 which is only good for 24 users until it must be re-purchased. Volume purchasing will decrease costs and increase availability.
