Why are you running for the school board?
I am running for three very important reasons, my three public elementary school children. I want to see that they, and all our children in Baltimore County, receive the best education possible.
What makes you a good candidate for the board?
I am everything that a Baltimore County Board of Education member is supposed to represent. I am a parent of three public school students who has lived in Baltimore County all 43 of my years. I will represent our students, parents and community’s best interest in Education.
Please name a public leader you admire and explain why.
The son of an Italian immigrant, Vince Lombardi lived the quintessential American dream. At 15 he was studying to be a priest, 40 years later he won his fifth NFL Championship. He was an exceptional teacher and motivator who defined what it means to be a winner: “You don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all of the time.”
What is the most important issue facing your school board, and what would you do about it if elected?
According to the most recent reports, only 39% of our second graders are reading at or above grade level and only 34% are there in math. Who knows where are third, fifth, eighth, and 10th graders are because there is no data. The most important issue is getting all of our students up to or above their grade levels in all core subjects.
How concerned are you about school safety, and what if anything should be done to improve it?
I am very concerned about school safety in our schools for students and teachers. Teachers and students need to know that when rules are broken there will be real consequences. There should be zero tolerance for any act of violence that happens inside a school building.
Do you have any concerns about the way history is taught in your district’s schools, and if so, what are they?
Teaching history the way it happened doesn’t mean you are agreeing or promoting it as acceptable. Our history made us who we are today and our children need to keep learning from it. I believe history should be taught exactly the way it happened, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Do you think there are circumstances when books should be removed from school libraries, and if so, what kind of books should be removed?
I don’t believe there is a place in our public school libraries for books that present fiction as nonfiction or books that are sexually explicit.
