Over the past six years, Christine Napolitano has proven to be an invaluable member of the Mineola School Board of Education. Christine has been an integral part of many positive changes in the Mineola School District, including improved educational programming, cutting-edge technology for our students, local and national awards for the district, and continued fiscal responsibility. Christine shows great enthusiasm and consideration for all of Mineola’s students, parents, and teachers. She is generous with her time, exhibits strong leadership, and is a true asset to our community. We will be lucky to have her on the board for three more years.
I met Brian Widman in the audience of board meetings where he is one of very few consistent attendees. Brian has observed firsthand how the board of education functions and has acquired comprehensive knowledge of district happenings and issues. He asks important questions and gives thoughtful and constructive suggestions. Brian is a devoted father and PTA volunteer who enjoys assisting at various school events. He is approachable, committed and trustworthy. Brian will be a strong addition to the board.
Christine and Brian are people of integrity who embody the true spirit of volunteerism and dedication to the entire Mineola School District community. Please join me in voting for Napolitano and Widman on May 19.
