~ Political Announcement ~ Vincent Serino seeks another two-year term on the Saugus School Committee

My Name is Vincent Serino and I am running for reelection to the Saugus School Committee. I want to thank The Advocate for allowing me this forum.

I am running again to complete a lot of the great things we started and to continue to fix the issues that remain. I am a fourth generation Saugonian.

I have lived here my whole life. My four kids all graduated from Saugus and all graduated from college. They are all successful in their lives. My wife is a teacher in town, so I see the work the teachers, support staff, and administration put into making the Saugus public schools work and be successful.

I am very proud to represent our district and the achievements we made over the past two years. We continue to build pride back in our schools and district. We have made many strides in communication with the parents and the students. We are currently working on separate Aspen X2 accounts for the parents to access their student’s updates. I am accessible by phone and email and will always get back to You. If there are issues and problems, I want to know about them and get them solved.

Is everything perfect?

No, but if we continue to work together with the town and school district together, we can continue to close out problems and move on to solving what’s next. We have many issues facing our schools today, with teacher shortages and state and federal mandates. We are making progress on fixing these problems, such as recently reworking the teachers’ contract to give first-time teachers a better starting pay.

I believe in our students, parents, and teachers, and together we can achieve anything.
