Again I continue to ask, what experience or knowledge does this candidate have, that may benefit our schools and our students? While I see many of his signs around the city, From what I've heard and read, he has no knowledge of school systemics at all. Although he has been educated in this city, until his very recent interest in a school committee position, to my knowledge, he has not attended school committee meetings in previous years; has never advocated for anything with regard to the needs of students, including being for or against recent consolidation plans; has no knowledge of more complicated special education, 504 issues; does not have a child vested in this system and therefore has not much to offer. I continue to question motivation and recent interest in this important position which would affect my child and thousands of others. From what I've read and heard, there is a lot of fluff and lawn signs, not much else. I have read some good reasons why a few of the other candidates should be nominated but can not say the same for this one

Remeber the old saying "Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you what you are? Well, pictured above are Danny's friends. Scott Avedisian who continues to neglect the school system and create insurmountable debt for the residents, Terry Medeiros who voted not to vote on the consolodation plan 2 years ago which cost us $300,000 to get the same recommendations that we previously got for free, who also voted no on GPS units in the vehcles even after we were robbed by David Laplante, Dave Bennet who voted for the tolls and remains hidden away except for photo ops just before an election, a a couple more wannabees.
