LSAA BOARD MEMBERS

 My name is Shelby Boisvert and I have been a member of LSAA since 2007 when I began working in the Lowell Public Schools as a Behavior Specialist. I spent a couple of years within that role before becoming a Guidance Counselor at Lowell High School, where I have been since 2012. I am currently in the role of Guidance at the Freshman Academy and service Cluster 9 students as well as Latin Lyceum and the ELL population of students. I truly enjoy my work as a Guidance Counselor. I am also licensed as a School Principal and Assistant Principal, and I had completed my internship work here in the Lowell Public Schools for that Licensure as well. I have been a member of the Negotiating Committee for the past 3 LSAA Contracts as well as a member of the Joint Study Committee. I also spent a term on the executive board as the LSAA Secretary. I truly look forward to my term as President, and look forward to serving all members and getting to know you all better. If there’s anything we can do to make this union better, or any suggestions you have, we’re open to hearing from you, and look forward to working with you. 

I’m Patty Clark-Nowoswiat and am retired. I have been an active member of the LSAA since I became an ETC in March 2005, serving on 8 Negotiating Committees and the Joint Study Committee. I previously worked as an ETC at a variety of schools and retired as the Coordinator of the Dr. Janice Adie Day School. I started my full time career in Lowell in September 1981 as a Bilingual Special Education Teacher at the Pawtuckeville Memorial School. I also worked at the old Varnum School and at the Wang Middle School prior to my becoming an ETC. Throughout my teaching career I was an active member of the UTL, serving on a negotiating team and representing the UTL on the Labor Council. I look forward to continuing to serve the members of the LSAA.
