A Todd Parent Who Will Represent EVERYONE

By Mike Valenti

I'm Mike Valenti and I am seeking to be elected as your representative on the Briarcliff Manor Board of Education. Information on my background, especially as it pertains to my ability to fulfill my commitments to this Board Member position, can be found on this website in the About Mike section.

If elected to fill this Board position, my desire and commitment is to listen carefully to, acknowledge, and zealously represent all constituencies in the District. Inclusive in the constituencies are:

• Parents of preschoolers seeking a voice in the educational journey their children will soon embark on,

• Todd Parents who seek a voice in their children's educational experience in their critical, formative years,

• Middle School Parents who seek a voice as their children transition from Todd into a world that begins their college preparatory years,

• High School Parents who seek a voice as their children continue to blossom socially, athletically, artistically and academically + moving through a curriculum that prepares them to hopefully attend some of the best colleges and universities in the country,

• Empty Nesters who seek a voice in balancing fiscal responsibility and tax burden against the backdrop of maintaining the reputation of our Village's schools as amongst the best around, which supports and enhances our property values, and last but not least,

• Out of District Parents who look to us to for their children's educational experience and wish to have a voice in that experience.

I am an independent thinker whose only goal is academic excellence within the constraints of fiscal responsibility. Achieving these goals means a first class education for our children, a reasonable tax situation for Village residents and firm property values for the entire District.

For more information on my thoughts and beliefs, please visit the Issues section of http://www.MikeValenti.org.

My belief is that I bring a deep, broad, well rounded skill set that complements well the skills and abilities of the existing Board members.

I am not running against the current Board or any of their actions, policies or beliefs. I am running for the opportunity to represent you in a positive and constructive fashion, in a complementary team approach, with the existing Board.
