Paul Stansel for Board of Ed

Thanks for taking the time to visit my website.  In the run up to the election, I am going to be using this as a means to distribute my views.  But more than that I really want to hear from you.  What are your issues?  What concerns do you have?  Where do you disagree with me?  We all need to elevate the discussion in Vernon politics beyond simple rhetoric and to a place where we can have honest discussion.  Difference of opinion is fine, but argument just for the sake of arguing is a waste of our time.

In towns across Connecticut, voters are feeling the economic pinch.  I know this is an issue, and maybe your primary issue.  I understand that people worry about advocating for school reform because it inevitably leads to higher taxes.  I want to work with you and any interested person to change that.  I want to see much more community involvement in the school systems.  We need more volunteers to help out in the elementary schools.  More parents to be involved in the PTO.  More people to come to Board of Education meetings and make sure all opinions are heard.

We will not always agree on the issues.  But I promise that regardless of our disagreements I will be fighting hard for a quality, affordable education for all of our children.  Thank you for your time.

-Paul
