Is the East Meadow Herald really endorsing a candidate solely because he has been part of the seven trustees and they have worked well together for four years? Please tell me how they have made the community proud? From my personal experience these last 2 years, it has been quite the opposite. They have not made community members proud for they do not know how to communicate or respond to their concerns. When asked direct questions at board meetings they do not answer them or defer them to the president of the board who states that they we will take that on advisement. Mr. Deangelo the Superintendent has commented when parents have asked the board members direct questions that Mr. Deangelo had refused to answer that he is the board and he speaks for the board. From my understanding the Superintendent is supposed to report to the board not the other way around. The current board and the superintendent is very nervous that someone may come in and question the way they have been operating. Our superintendent has used nothing but intimidation tactics against parents who speak out against him. The lack of communication via phone, email or letter by the superintendent and the board has made them look poorly in the eyes of the public here in East Meadow and in other communities who cannot believe the sheer arrogance of them. In my seven years living here and attending events for this community the only time any Board member has been at any event was this past Tuesday. Corey Fanelli was at the Barnum Woods concert and I believe only because there is a real threat to his position on the board.

Why should Scot Eckers wait and be next in line because you don't want to break them up? Voting for Scott Eckers on Tuesday May 20th is the best way to get the concerns of East Meadow residents heard and to put the power back where it belongs...in the hands of the board of education who represent the community!
