Linda Delfino Lyall – Chariho School Committee

As a member of the Chariho School Committee for the last four years, Linda has worked on behalf of Chariho students and their families to ensure that each student is provided with a high quality education in a safe learning environment. She is an advocate of continually striving for educational excellence that the Chariho community expects while utilizing a fiscally responsible approach to the budget process. She believes one of the most important roles of a School Committee member is to ensure that the buildings are open and the staff have the resources to teach.

Linda has 30 years of experience as a dedicated educator and instructional leader. She brings this expertise and her commitment to children to her service as a positive contributor to the Chariho School Committee. These years of experience have taught her to always take a positive approach, appreciate different perspectives and ideas, and encourage meaningful dialogue in order to address and/or solve matters that may arise.
