Campaign themes
2014
Codispoti provided the following statement on her 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 and will respect diverse points of views. 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 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 that communication is key to keeping our schools effective. I want to be able to give the students, teachers, staff 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.[4] |
