I would like to thank everyone who took the time out of their day and came out to vote and help to overwhelmingly pass the Mineola School District budget for 2015-2016.
Thank you to everyone that has put their trust and faith in me by voting for me for Mineola School Board trustee. I will work hard and diligently to uphold your faith and trust while making sure that our students are able to achieve academic success and greatness in a safe and fun learning environment.
I would like to especially thank my wife, Stefanie and my two boys, Ray and Hayden for their support and encouragement during these past couple of months.
On a personal note, I would also like to thank Christine Napolitano for her words of encouragement and her advice during this election. She was an invaluable source of information and experience during this campaign.
I feel it is an honor and a privilege to be able to serve all of the residents of the Mineola School District and I look forward to working with the board of education and the administration to keep Mineola headed in the right direction while at the same time bringing my own perspective to the board that will allow them to continue to serve the district’s residents in a fiscally sound manner.
