My name is Laura A. Gerard, and I am running for the Gilmanton School Board because I care deeply about the future of our schools and the success of our students. As a parent of two school-aged children, I understand firsthand the importance of strong, effective educational policies that prepare our children for their futures. Our wonderful school is not only an asset to our community but also the primary reason my family chose to move to Gilmanton.

As the practice manager at a veterinary hospital, I balance budgets, work closely with the public and navigate tough conversations, skills I will bring to the School Board. I am acutely aware of the challenges we face with education funding, particularly in rural areas of New Hampshire. I am committed to ensuring that we operate our schools in a financially responsible manner while advocating for the state of New Hampshire to meet its responsibility in funding education. Our children deserve a quality education that prepares them to be productive members of society, and I will work to find a balance that supports both fiscal responsibility and academic excellence. Please feel free to email me at TeamGerardNH@gmail.com with any questions. I would be honored to earn your vote on Tuesday, March 11. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at The Academy Building, 503 Province Rd, Gilmanton
