My name is Angela Midgette-David, and I am running for a position on the Englewood School Board. I am a homeowner, a mother of three daughters who were born and raised in Englewood and currently attend our public school system. My husband was also born and raised in Englewood and is a 23-year veteran currently with the Englewood Fire Department.

As a product of the Public School System, my educational accomplishments are B.A. in Organizational Management from Ashford University, M.Ed in Special education from Saint Thomas University, CPM (Certified Property Manager) Designated from New York University Continuing Education and NYS Licensed Real Estate Broker

As a staple in our community, I know our community is based on ethics, values, and a strong educational system. My family has benefited greatly from the Englewood school community, and I know our Englewood children can also benefit. It takes a village to raise a child and my fiduciary responsibility is to make sure all children are given the same opportunity. I would like to have more collaborative programs with other city agencies and volunteers.

We cannot continue to let so many of our youngsters fail. I will work to have all paths to their success available, strengthened and constantly monitored.

My number one priority is to focus on our education system, by providing an excellent education for every student with an emphasis on creative problem solving, which is a must, in our fast-changing world.

As a board member, I am ready and willing to work hard for the integrity of our children because they deserve better. As a mother of three daughters currently in the school system, I understand the value of ALL children.
