Emmerich responded to the following questions from Vote411:

How does your experience prepare you for the duties of this office?
During my 33 years in the telecommunications industry as a technician and supervisor/project manager I was credited for making sound decisions in critical situations. My belief is that bringing corporate work experience into a government run organization would benefit the board by sharing a different view on issues.

What are your priorities for this office?
I’m a concerned citizen that wants every child in Cecil County to receive a quality education at an affordable cost to the taxpayer.

What areas within the school budget, if any, should be increased or decreased?
I have issues with CCPS’s spending. The Maintenance of Effort is a major problem for the County, causing it to lose control of it’s own budget. Maintenance of Effort was an idea with good intentions, but produced uncontrollable consequences.

How should the national standards for education ("Common Core" standards) be used to ensure a quality education for each child in the county?
Common core was brought into this State without a legislative vote for one reason only, MONEY. Common core is an attempt to bring the liberal indoctrination that is happening in our colleges to K-12. Common core teaches freedom and liberty are bad and big central government is good.

How should county schools address the needs of students who are not planning to attend college?
Early intervention from counselors into the student’s future desires should move the student into programs to meet their objectives. Many employers teach job skills on their own. They just want to be assured newly hired employees can learn.[2][7]
