Stronger students, stronger schools, stronger town

Lexington School Committee 2018-24

Dear friends and well-wishers, 

Thank you for your support and good wishes. After serving Lexington on the School Committee for seven years I have stepped down from that responsibility. It was an honor and a wonderful experience serving the children and families of Lexington.

I continue to serve as town meeting member (Precinct 6).I hope you will reach out to me with your feedback, questions and concerns.

Thank you once again,

Deepika Sawhney (March, 2025)
