hello my name is mike crowley and i'm running for school committee i'm running because i believe that our kids belmont's future deserve the best education that we can provide that's why i was involved in the yes for belmont campaign for our new seven to twelve school which will replace our crowded and aging high school throughout the u s for belmont campaign i was deeply impressed by the support of belmont residents my neighbors and yours for the new school it's something that we badly need and now we're going to build it but we need good oversight to make sure that we get this three hundred million dollars school done right i want to make sure that we get our money's worth and that we build a school that will meet our kids needs for years to come our schools have been bursting at the seams because of increasing and rollman class sizes for many of our grades are well beyond what they should be but it is still space isn't enough to solve class sizes we still need to invest in additional teachers and staff if we're going to to to progress on this issue another issue i care about is school fees and affordability like many school area school districts we have fees for music programs athletics and transportation many parents feel that these fees are an obstacle we do have feel way of a fee waiver system in place that's designed to help our lower income residents afford these fees but we're not and we're not in a position to get rid of them but i think it's worth reviewing them to make sure that we're not turning away any kids because families can't afford them many belmont families depend on after school care we're grateful to have some great providers who make use of the space in our schools the school committee doesn't have any direct oversight over school after school care providers but i think they can be part of a town wide conversation about afterschool care to make sure that it's fissioned and affordable these are just some of the issues that i care about and as a school committee member i'll be interested in your concerns too just some background about myself i'm a parent and i've thought a great deal about our public schools i've also been a town meeting member in america and a member of the warrant committee since two  and sixteen so i'm familiar with some of the critical issues that we face in our schools focusing on our school system budget and finances is an area where i think i can be of real assistance i have over twenty years of federal budget and finance experience with the white house office of management and budget and i've been involved with our local town and school budgets and financial issues on the warrant committee and town meeting for the past three years i live here  belmont with my wife and my seventeen year old son and i'm committed to making our schools better for all of our children i appreciate your vote on april nd thank you so much
buckets of all things such random simple objects could cause me so much pain i already knew from experience that swimming could be a painful sport but i had no idea what i was in for when i strapped myself to a bucket filled with four gallons of water and tried to swim three hundred yards of freestyle my arms were burning my legs felt like they weighed fifty pounds each each time i pushed off the wall i want a little slower than the last time getting a little as far than the last time my eyes began to tear up but i told myself no you're going to finish this set you're not going to cry you're going to keep pushing and you're going to finish and you're going to go home and have lots and lots of pasta and you're going to feel so accomplished and proud but when i got to the wall limbs on fire i reached my shaking arm for my water bottle in those forty seconds of rest before i started the next swim and i realised that i really didn't know how i could survive the rest of the night with an hour left of practice i was ready to give began questioning why even swam my coach came over to me and said elizabeth this is the kind of set that determines your destiny and in that moment i couldn't help but think that my destiny really didn't look too good looking back at that practice i still wonder how i made it through how i managed to swim another set after two hours of pure torture the burns and scratches from the buckets ropes are my battle scars it was painful but i survived the weight of that for gallon bucket and most importantly i survived the biggest battle of all the battle against those voices in my head that told me i couldn't do it i have struggled with self confidence for as long as i can remember honestly i can't count the number of times i've wished i was someone else or wished i was better at this or better at that and that set put my self confidence to the ultimate test from the moment my mouth fell open as i watched my coach excitedly scribble the set on the whiteboard smiling diabolically to the moment i felt completely done for pulling on the lane rope and stopping to gulp down some air i was fairly certain i was going to die that day but i'm still alive because of my self confidence i believe in those buckets i believe in the pain they put me through i believe in that part of me that they toughened up i believe in the good they will do me in the future when i'm striving to make that college team i believe in my self confidence i believe in the power of self confidence to help you tackle anything because when the time comes when my muscles are aching and my lungs are screaming for air and my eyes are heavy with exhaustion and chlorine self confidence may be the only weapon i have left to survive those buckets again and i need to find it again soon because i'm really scared for the next practice
stand guys it's been several years since i talked to you about domestic and sexual violence so here we go things are much different i don't know if you saw the article in the paper about from the c d c that one in three women are victims of domestic violence one in four women in our community experienced rape sex assault in two thousand and ten schenectady had the worst record in the state the highest reported rate of domestic violence of any county in the state including new york city this connect the police department gets five hundred messages of reports every month and sixty of those are repeat offenders people who are already on probation for some offense or another often domestic violence i don't know if you've ever felt a fist slam into your mouth or the side of your head or if you've been dragged across the floor by your hair i don't know if you've been on the floor when curling up when somebody kicked in the stomach or in the head or i don't know if any of you have been the victim of a rape or a sex assault maybe you were in a car on a date and somebody force themselves on you and grabbed your breast or put their hand up your skirt you know or maybe you were thrown down on the ground and or into a car or on a sofa and you are violated you were sick you were scared you're angry you're hurt and you did not want anyone to know you know what your parents you know you don't want your friends to know you didn't want your husband or boyfriend to know you were afraid of getting pregnant and you're afraid you're going to come back and believe me those feelings never go away or we get a lot of kids in our community maybe your fourteen year old girl last night you heard a fist hit flesh and you heard the yelling the screaming the crying you were scared you didn't know what to do you didn't want to hear it you covered your ears next morning you don't want to look at your mom in the face she doesn't want to look you in the face maybe you throw up before going to school and then you go into algebra class or you go in history class it's probably last thing in the world that you want to do at that point in time this stuff happens in schenectady most days every week every month it's the fault of the abuser but whose responsibility to change is yours you know most businesses have a business plan sports teams have a game plan but schenectady being the worst in the state we did not develop a comprehensive plan and that is something that you folks can do to change things you know what all we need is one of you i don't need all of you one of you who makes up their mind that they're going to make a difference you make it up in your head you make it up in your heart and we can change things and i'll tell you one of you makes up that makes your mind up to
work and i got a program that working together is a program for kids to come to and find a way to eliminate problems on the streets by doing it with our own  it's not anything for adults to do it's all on par with the youth of today for better tomorrow our mission is to get these kids in the right path and restructured because life's all about  saw the kids real world problem solving teach them how to attack the community issues address what i like most about the program is that the kids you know i've known and played basketball with they bending games and it's helping them get off the streets you know get an education and make sure that they're on the right path i actually grew up in this program as a kid from eighth grade to senior i was the first and only two year president of the program so you know fair memory from t n t is probably the day that my mom told me that she was bringing this program back in helping out to bring it back and asking me if i wanted to be in and i didn't know what it was so i said sure so the first day i sh there was a blast so i knew that this is i wanted to be so if i were a teen youth i would definitely get involved because it's not just work reward our kids if you're finding a way out of a problem or a situation come us and we'll help you fix it and then you can also turn around and fix it for others that were in your same situation so it leaves one time we were talking about what we're involved in and this is something that you can take advantage of we were trying to expand their minds were trying to broaden their horizons and actually show the kids a promised land
