Two write-in candidates emerge for Holyoke Ward 6 School Committee seat

The Ward 6 School Committee race, sparked by Pat Beaudry’s withdrawal and endorsement of Patty Norris Lubold, has quickly evolved into a contest of ideas about how Holyoke Public Schools should move forward after exiting state receivership.

Norris Lubold, a longtime Ward 6 resident and strategic consultant, is campaigning on equity for students with disabilities, universal design in learning and rebuilding trust between families and schools.
