Campaign themes

Romaniello's campaign website listed the following campaign themes for 2013:[4]

"My vision of a better quality public education begins with schools that tirelessly teach children to read. As a society, we learn to read, then we read to learn. Literacy is the greatest tool we can provide our children. Second, I would want to see new, bright, colorful, safe learning centers that our community can take pride in and that inspire our children. I want to see schools that are open late and on the weekends, providing classes in everything from English as a Second Language to Fiscal Responsibility to Healthy Family Cooking. I’d like to see schools that prepare our children fully for the secondary education of their choice. I’d like to see schools that every member of our community can access, regardless of disability or language spoken. I want Lynn to have schools that other communities would fight to place their children in. And I think we can do it, together."
