Gilles, 47, has lived in Amherst for 41 years. She and her husband, Paul, have three children.
As a board member for nearly four years, Gilles said she has a vested interested in the district as a parent and taxpayer.
If re-elected, she says she hopes to continue providing positive input and direction “in these difficult economic times.”
Gilles said her professional career as Main Street’s executive director has provided her with “invaluable experience” in matters of business management and working with the public, allowing her to directly apply those skills to operating the school system.
She said her agenda is to provide students with the best possible programs and educational opportunities that will prepare them for their next level of education or vocation.
“I am willing to dedicate whatever time necessary to perform my responsibilities at the highest possible level, including a commitment to increasing my knowledge and skills so that I can become a more effective leader and foster a superior level of governance for our school district,” Gilles said.
