Candidate Comment
As a parent, homeowner, local businessman, and as a 2-year member of the High
School/Middle School Building Advisory Committee, I wish to continue to focus my
efforts towards improving the schools for the future of the Town of Danvers, and its
schoolchildren. The proposed renovation project at Holten-Richmond and the High School is
a critical step in providing a quality learning environment for our children, an appealing
work environment to attract and retain the best teachers available and an opportunity to
renovate and retain proud assets of the Town of Danvers.
I hold a degree in Building Construction
Technology and Project Management with 15 years experience in the field. My education and
professional background have allowed me to serve Danvers in a meaningful capacity in
implementing a school building plan and I want to continue to use that background to serve
the whole community responsibly, as well as the residents with school-age
children.
I have also have continued to meet with
school administration and teachers, residents and anyone with a voice and opinion to be
heard about our school system. They have provided with a great wealth of information and
background from which I continue to expand my knowledge of the needs of this school
system. I look forward to working to address a great number of issues facing this school
system including, MCAS Testing and diploma issuance, quality teacher recruitment
and retention, school safety, overcrowding, busing and accredidation.
Personally, my wife, Beth, and I have two
daughters, a 7 year old enrolled in the Thorpe Elementary School and a 3 year old who is
looking forward to joining her sister in 2003. Responsibly providing for their
educational future, and that of their friends, and every other Danvers child is the reason
behind my desire to serve as a member of your
School Committee. I will work towards a continuous effort to match the needs of
the towns school children within the expectations and fiscal realities of the Town
of Danvers.
When you vote on May 7th, I respectfully ask for one of your two votes
for school committee. I would be proud to serve you as a member of your School Committee.
