No. 12 School Board
Election Campaign Nears End
As the District #12 school board
election campaign enters the
home stretch, candidates Gail
Lapitsky of Lexington Avenue
and Robert Fraissinet of Hanson
Place are busier than ever
meeting the electorate. Last
week's decision by James Farrell
of Park Boulevard to back Mrs.
Lapitsky has swung his large
following in support behind her.
"All over the District we are
finding that there is a discontent
with incumbent Charles Reardon
and his policies," says Mrs.
Lapitsky. Gail cut her teeth on
school district problems during
six years of P.T.A. work.
Fraissinet has been known as the
"father of common sense" in
school matters for a dozen years.
That's why he is the chairman of
the School Board's own Citizens'
Advisory (Itommittee. More and
more people are wondering how
man, such as Reardon, can
properly serve the community on
the school board, when his own
children go to private school.
Hitting hard on the issue of their
dedication to better public
schools and to greater com-munity
involvement through
communication, Mrs. Lapitsky
and Fraissinet expect to best
their opponents in the election on
June 13. "Everybody I talk to is
getting on our bandwagon," says
Mrs. Marjan Cingiser of
Christabel Street, the campaign
manager for Mrs. Lapitsky. "I
predict a landslide victory for
Gail and Robert."
