Campaign themes

2013

In a letter to Only in Bridgeport, Larcheveque explained his reasons for running for a board seat in 2013:

"Many parents struggle with the decision of where to send their children to school. Some move out of Bridgeport or take on the burden of private or parochial school tuition. We have outstanding teachers and staff in our public schools and with hard work and a team approach, we can make the District the envy of the state and a model of quality, community-involved public education. To start, we must restore the Bridgeport Board of Education to a civil, productive body that works together with one overarching purpose: to provide the best educational opportunities possible for the youth of Bridgeport. I will reach out to every neighborhood, to members of any and all political parties. I am committed to working hard to gain support across the city. Here are my promises to you: I PROMISE to engage the community and tirelessly advocate for all students, teachers and staff. I know that the reputation of the entire school district is reflected in the behavior and attitude of the members of the Board of Education. I PROMISE to be always be civil and respectful of my fellow Board members, administrative officials, parents, students, teachers, EVERYONE. I will work to reach beyond party labels and build consensus for true progress. Federal and state governments are not consistently reliable sources of funding, and city taxpayers already bear a heavy burden. I PROMISE to look for partnerships with area communities, universities, trade schools, corporations and employers, in an effort to provide pathways that would prove beneficial to all, as the best workforce is an educated workforce. I PROMISE to be well-acquainted with district policies. I PROMISE to base my decisions on the facts. I PROMISE to vote at all times in the best interests of our children and the school district. I PROMISE to listen to opposing views and be able to defend the outcome of Board’s decisions derived from honest and respectful debate and analysis. I PROMISE to work hard to improve district communication with students, parents and the community. I PROMISE to maintain strict confidentiality on all sensitive matters pertaining to the children and personnel and schools which, if disclosed, would needlessly injure anyone."
