Campaign themes

2013

In an interview with Nancy on Norwalk, Bazzano explained his campaign themes for 2013:

"My plans and priorities are as follows: Firmly support our new superintendent. For a variety of reasons, Norwalk has experienced too high of a turnover in this position; this is unacceptable. Raise the bar and achievement of all students attending our public school system. Continue the Board’s recent great strides in financial management. Assist in providing financial discipline. School/student security. Keeping our kids, teachers, and staff safe. Things that need to be addressed: Bullying: in all forms. The current BoE and Bob Kocienda (Senators Community Foundation leader) have done a great job in raising awareness, setting policy and having laws passed at the state level. But without implementation, all this great work is for naught. As such, I will feverishly work to make sure these policies and laws are implemented and enforced throughout the school system. Childhood obesity. Teen texting/talking on phone while driving."
