I have known David Migdal for almost 40 years. He is one of the most forthright people I have ever met. His educational background as a FCPS teacher, administrator AND as a parent gives him the lens to see and support divergent points of view. David will not be beholden to any ideology, but will engage in open and honest discussion and make the best possible decision. I wholeheartedly endorse David Migdal for the FCPS Board of Education! He is exactly what students, families and staff need in leadership!

As a parent of a second-grader with dyslexia, I’ve seen firsthand the difference that a knowledgeable, compassionate leadership can result in a child’s education. Working with David Migdal over the past year has been a privilege. His 30 years of experience give him an unparalleled understanding of the challenges students, families, and educators face. David’s insight into early intervention, literacy, special education, and the importance of individualized support has been invaluable to our family.
Frederick County needs a leader who understands both the big picture and the day-to-day realities inside our schools. I wholeheartedly support David Migdal for the Frederick County Board of Education and believe he will be a powerful advocate for all students and families.

My family has been a part of the FCPS system for over twenty years, specifically with Special Education Services. Given our history, I feel well versed to advocate for Special Needs Students and their families. In those twenty years, I haven’t ever felt the confidence in a candidate for the Board of Education that I do in Dave Migdal. Having personally worked with him in a parent-to-administrator capacity when my daughter attended Carroll Manor in a specialized program, I have seen him in action and witnessed his results first-hand. He was not only available for problem-solving, he was flexible and understanding, knowledgeable but, most importantly, collaborative. David ensured that my daughter and her classmates' education was given the attention and respect they deserved. When I learned that he was running for the BOE, I felt some relief and I felt incredibly hopeful for the Special Needs Community. A candidate like Dave is long overdue for this role, and the BOE and students of ALL abilities will benefit from his expertise. He 100% has my vote!
Minda Harvey Gagné- FCPS Parent
David Migdal was the Assistant Principal for my daughter's elementary school. I saw firsthand the love he had/has for the children. My daughter had an issue with a student who broke her Keychain. Mr. Migdal was attentive, genuinely cared about, and resolved the issue. I have trusted Mr. Migdal for five years with my daughter, and I still do. I will not usually endorse a political candidate, but I will for Mr. David Migdal for the Frederick County Board of Education. David will put children first, NOT politics.
