QUESTION 4: The BOE is the most demanding community position in Verona, and you all have day jobs. What in your current job roles and responsibilities might prevent you from fully carrying out your duties on the BOE?
Being on the Board of Education is a great honor that the voters have allowed me to do for the past six years. I am happy to be able to contribute to my community as a member of the Board and do my best to make the right decisions for the district. Working on the Board of Education is a commitment that involves many public meetings, committee meetings, events and activities that we are required to attend on a monthly basis. On a few occasions, I have had to travel for work on days when there have been Board meetings scheduled. Because I control much of my schedule, I do my best to avoid any conflicts, however it is not always possible. For committee meetings and events during days in the work week, I try to be flexible with my schedule to accommodate. It is a privilege to be on the Board working with the other members and the administration, however it does take away time with the family in which I have to miss family dinners or other events with my wife and kids.
As discussed in one of the earlier questions, I feel my business experience and background on the Board of Education in Verona makes me an educated and devoted member of the Board that will continue to provide value with challenges the district may face in the future. I ask for your vote on November 5 to continue moving the district forward.
This series was very helpful in deciding how to vote. Thank you!
