Campaign themes

2014

Pagano provided the following statement on his campaign website:

“	I will bring fresh eyes, new energy and committed proven leadership to the School Board. I have the ability to work well with a team and do so with a professional, respectful demeanor, with respect for diverse points of view. I want to work toward a stronger relationship between the district and the public it serves, serving the needs of all students, regardless of their abilities and backgrounds. I believe in the value of public education and I am dedicated to serving and teaching all children. I believe and understand that our role is to act strategically, in line with the interests of the entire school community. I also believe Communication is a key to keeping our schools effective. I want to be able to give the students, teachers and parents, someone they feel they can come to and discuss any concerns, ideas or issues. So many politicians forget why they are there. It’s a position of honor and trust… The people need to trust you and you must be honored to SERVE the people.	”
