Dear Parents and Friends,

I appreciate the endorsement from POB-Math. I have spent the last 16 years advocating for the education of our children.

During my tenure as PTA Council President in 2004-2006, we recognized the need to address the state of the academic standards in our school district. Along side teachers and administrators, I was a founding member of the district’s Academic Standards Steering Committee. There is much work to be done.

As a school board member I pledge to continue my commitment to bringing the Plainview Old Bethpage School district to one of the top in Nassau County.

Thank you for your support,
Lori Weinstein

I appreciate POBMath.com’s endorsement of my candidacy as a positive change in leadership to help turn our school district around.

I quoted Einstein on Candidate’s Night: “vision without action is hallucination.” The candidates for change have answered the call to action and now ask that you do the same. On May 15th please make time to vote, 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM at your regular polling place, Old Bethpage Elementary, POB Middle School or Jamaica Avenue School.

Talk with your neighbors and friends. A change in leadership is absolutely necessary in order to improve our district’s academic and fiscal performance. Embrace change and the opportunity to restore our school district to its proper place as one of the BEST school districts on Long Island.

Thank you,
Angel Cepeda

Gary,
As a parent of a K Center student I can not express to you my disappointment in the POB school system. I grew up in Plainview but went to Catholic school for elementary and high school. I moved back to Plainview so my son can have a better education then some parents are able to offer. I am now having second thoughts and I am considering paying for my son to receive an education instead of having him go through the POB school system.

You have opened my eyes and you can count on my vote.

You have reassured me that the concerns that I have are being adequately addressed and that you are determined to find a solution.

Keep up the good work!

Sincerely,
Doreen

Dear Gary,
So glad you are definitely running. Again, I am sure that I am among many people who would love to see you in this spot. Let me know if I could make any calls on your behalf. This absolutely needs to happen the way it is intended.

Good luck, and talk to ya’ soon.

With warmest regards,
Kimberly
