Cardello, of 27 Ferry St., Everett, am announcing my candidacy for election to the position of School Committee at Large. What is the School Committee’s responsibility? To explain briefly, according to the Department of Education, the answer is “The School Committee has oversight and responsibility for the school department, sets the direction in which the system must go and establishes criteria to determine if its goals and polices are being met.” I started my venture into city politics in 1994 when I was elected to the School Committee. After serving six years on the School Committee, I ventured into a run for the Common Council where I served for six years. My next venture was to the Board of Alderman where I served for four years. Currently I am serving on the School Committee having been humbly elected by the City Council and the School Committee to fill an open position of the School Committee at Large due to the untimely passing of the then member Richard Baniewicz. It was bittersweet for me. Richard and his wife Linda had been friends of mine for over fifty years; it was very emotional to think I would be now serving in his place. I have worked diligently with my colleagues, administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, students, secretaries, cafeteria employees, custodians and city government, etc. to live up to the responsibilities of a School Committee member. I enjoy being involved in my community and strive to be a good example. I enjoy living my life to help people in any way I can. That is who I am! The reasons I want to be a voice Millie Cardello School Committee Member-at-Large for the people of Everett are: I was born here (at the Whidden Hospital); go to church here; went to school here, I graduated Everett High. Class of “68”. After my tour of duty in the United States Air Force I returned to Everett and resumed my life here. I raised my family here, I pay taxes here, I shop here, and I do all the things you do so I get it! My roots go very deep in Everett. My grandparents, my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins lived here, went to school here, owned property here, worked here and a lot of them still do. This is my home; this is your home. Everett is our home town and I am proud to be here. I want to continue to serve you as your representative on the School Committee at Large. I want to be here to take your phone calls and emails, to listen to your concerns, problems and suggestions. CARDELLO | SEE PAGE 26
