What makes you the best candidate for the position?
“Service as a school board
member is a natural progression from my history of youth
and education-based volunteerism.
I am a very active and involved father of five, four
of whom currently attend Revere Schools. My involvement
through them has allowed me to gain valuable insight
into the strength of our personnel and the function
of our schools, from the classroom
setting to the Offices of Administration. I’ve
been impressed by the competency of many with whom I’ve
worked, and have developed an enthusiasm to be a part
of the continued improvement of our district. I expect
that my business and financial background will help
me work with the rest of the board and current administration
to analyze the fiscal state of our district, and prepare
it for many years of future stability. My ability to
interact with others and successfully work with various
groups makes me a strong candidate for this position
which relies heavily on cooperating with not only other
board members and administration, but teachers, students,
parents, coaches, staff and the entire community at
large.”
