My name is Bill Fanos, Town of Warwick resident for 45 years and volunteer coach for the Warwick Soccer Club.

My wife, Jaclyn, is a Special Education teacher. I graduated Cum Laude, B.A. in History from St. Bonaventure University and currently serve as a Lieutenant on the FDNY.

Let me start by extending my gratitude to the Warwick teachers, tirelessly working throughout the pandemic, keeping our children’s education and well-being their top priority.

As a parent of three school-aged children, it’s crucial to have a current stake in our public education system. There is intrinsic value to having a fresh perspective, on the Board of Education, in order to tackle the current challenges facing the District.

I’m committed to being a voice for parents who want a seat at the decision-making table. Too often, decisions are made behind closed doors ultimately affecting your children’s future and personal finances.

Therefore, transparency is imperative for strong, honest leadership. This will ensure the Superintendent of Schools has the support and constructive criticism required to make difficult decisions; specifically, maintaining in-person learning and informing parents about the details of any curriculum shift in standards from the NYS Education Department and Board of Regents.
