I encourage my neighbors to reelect Rosemarie De Angelis to the South Portland School Board. De Angelis has the experience to guide school leadership to a responsible budget that improves education quality and the well-being of students. With the reduction in COVID-19 funding, we need a compassionate leader who is also pragmatic. As a former mayor and current board member, she knows that our school district needs to operate within budgetary constraints. But she also knows we cannot shrink from the challenges our schools face and must provide the resources necessary to meet them.
As a parent of a 2-year-old, I am committed to electing a leader who can set our schools up for long term success. De Angelis is that leader. Please join me in voting for Rosemarie De Angelis this November.
