In closing, Polito stated “For years the groups and people I have supported have spoken about wanting a bold, innovative, disruptor to recreate our school system into a successful system focused on the students and the outcomes. The prevailing question is whether our actions align with the best interests of our students or if other, less noble agendas have taken precedence.”
