Journal Sentinel questionnaire
Cerniglia participated in the following survey conducted by Journal Sentinel. The questions provided by Journal Sentinel are bolded, and Cerniglia's responses follow below.
The school district is set to embark on a series of energy-efficiency projects totaling nearly $17.5 million. Do you agree with the scope of improvements and dispute that spending did not go to referendum?
| “ | After questioning experts in the field, district staff, and informing/listening to citizens, I felt it was reasonable for the district to utilize the legal energy option offered by the state to complete some much needed deferred maintenance. The board concentrated its focus on minimizing the impact to taxpayers along with saving future resources.[2][3] | ” |

Should public education mainly be a resource for general education or should it take on a more aggressive role in vocational job training?
| “ | Our district citizens have stated that they want choices for their children. Our very strong (and always adapting to our changing world) vocational and college-bound programs offer those choices with varied opportunities for the skill development needed to become successful global citizens, in whatever career path is chosen.[2][3] | ” |
