Two candidates introduce themselves at Connetquot board meeting; rules bar campaigning
Summary
Jacqueline Napolitano Furno and Sarah Parisi each provided brief introductions at the May 13 meeting; the board reiterated that introductions cannot include campaigning.
At the May 13 board meeting, two board of education candidates introduced themselves in the order announced by the meeting chair.
Jacqueline Napolitano Furno, a sitting board trustee and lifelong Connetquot resident, said she is a 1996 Connetquot High School graduate, a parent of two current Connetquot students and a longtime law enforcement professional who has served as a school resource officer and youth-officer programs. She said she has served on numerous district committees and professional development programs during her tenure and asked voters to consider voting May 20.
Sarah Parisi identified herself as a lifelong resident who previously served on the board about 20 years ago, said she is president and founder of a technology company, and indicated her priorities would include financial stewardship and student care. The meeting chair repeatedly reminded speakers that introductions may not include campaigning; the chair intervened during Parisi—s remarks to enforce the rule.
Discussion versus decision: this item was informational; candidates were allowed brief introductions only and no board action was taken.
Ending: The board reiterated polling locations and hours for the May 20 vote.
