I was privileged to have worked when Brookline High, indeed the whole school system, attained state and national recognition as a leader in public school education. Bob Weintraub was a hands-on head of school who knew every teacher, staff member, and most importantly every student. He was a colleague that we could depend on for advice and support. He welcomed and respected different perspectives. Yet he always kept his eyes on the prize, keeping Brookline at the cutting edge of public school education.

Those of us who know and worked with Bob Weintraub continue to be in awe of his ability to challenge and inspire us. When thinking of Bob, words that come to mind include: dignity, integrity, good will, passion, enthusiasm, courage, risk taker, and a fighter for equity and human rights. Bob Weintraub is a RENAISSANCE MAN.

I strongly endorse Bob Weintraub for the Brookline School Committee. He has consistently fought for the resources and opportunities our schools need to thrive, ensuring that every member of the school community is supported and empowered. As a dedicated teacher and mentor, his guidance has profoundly impacted me and countless other educators and students.

I am excited for the future of the Brookline Public Schools with Dr. Bob’s magic and incredible experience!
