Page 2 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 18, 2021 Installation held for Malden Disabled Veterans ~Letter to the Editor~ Iovino not seeking re-election to School Committee Dear Editor: After a great deal of consideration, I have decided not to seek re-election to the Malden School Committee. This was not an easy decision, but the time for a change is now. I am contemplating a return to take some graduate level course work in public administration and public safety, and looking at other areas of interest perhaps travel as well. I close this part of my life in public service with much pride and satisfaction.

I was first elected to the Malden School Committee in 2005. When my current term expires on December 31, 2021, I will have served the public schools in Malden for nearly 51 years. Whether as a classroom teacher or a member of the School Committee, my one overarching goal has remained the same; to do what is in the best interest of our students and their parents. As a lifelong educator I, along with my colleagues on the School Committee, continue to be strong advocates for attaining social justice and racial equity for all students in grades Pre-K-through graduation. As a private citizen, I will continue to be a strong voice for expanding services for students whose first language is not English, and I will also be a voice in support of adding more counseling services to meet the social/emotional needs of all our students. Educating children requires that parents maintain a strong partnership with their child’s teacher. Establishing that partnership Leonard Iovino builds accountability, transparency, and mutual respect. There are a number of people to whom I owe a debt of love, loyalty and support over the past 16 years. First and foremost among this group is my late wife Joanne and our wonderful son Joseph who is always there with a shoulder for me to lean on. Joanne, who was an outstanding educator, taught English to eighth grade students in Malden from September 1968 to June 2005. My thanks also the citizens and voters in Ward 4 who supported my candidacy and placed their trust in my ability to make educationally sound decisions on their behalf. My sincere thanks to the hardworking and dedicated teachers at the Lincoln School and the Salemwood School who gave 110 percent each day they entered their classrooms. I was enormously proud to be their principal and colleague. To all of the many students I met over the past 50 plus years, it was a pleasure to have served you and your families. I hope that in some small way I was of help to you going forward. Sincerely, and with deep gratitude, Leonard Iovino Vice-Chair, Malden School Committee Malden Kiwanis announces Key Clubs’ Awards T he Malden Kiwanis Club is proud to announce its Key Clubs’ Awards for 2020-2021.
