Stephen O’Malley, a lifelong Brockton resident and retired law enforcement officer, has endorsed Stephen Pina for Ward 1 School Committee, joining forces to ensure accountability, safe schools, and stronger community engagement.
Brockton taxpayers deserve to know where their money goes. My plan for a Real-Time Financial Dashboard will track every dollar in our schools—live, online, and accessible to every resident. No more excuses, no more fiscal fog. Just accountability, transparency, and honest leadership.
Brockton’s schools have lost their way. Standards have slipped, classrooms lack order, and the budget has been run into the ground. Stephen Pina’s Champion City Project blueprint lays out a clear path forward: raise academic standards with a knowledge-rich curriculum starting at age 3, restore order and safety through a stronger school police force and alternatives for chronic disruptors, bring real fiscal accountability with zero-based budgeting and department-level internal controls, and create real-world pathways including a Brockton Classical Academy, expanded CTE, apprenticeships, and dual enrollment.
This plan is rooted in common sense: Strong Schools, Strong City. Brockton families deserve transparency, teachers deserve authority, and students deserve a future built on real knowledge and opportunity. The current system has delivered deficits, watered-down diplomas, and unsafe classrooms. Stephen Pina’s blueprint delivers the opposite — order, honesty, and preparation for the real world.
