I pride myself on working to “get things done” and am always willing to meet and work with anyone in order to deliver results for my constituents. At the center of everything I do is my commitment to constituent service. I always work diligently to return phone calls and emails in a prompt manner, and am accessible to my constituents and their needs. I have a good track record of being your elected representative because I have already served in several different elected positions and did my best to improve our community and our quality of life.

Positions on the issues
The candidate was asked to answer 10 questions from Ballotpedia regarding significant issues in education and the school district. The questions are in the left column and the candidate's responses are in the right column of the following table:
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| "They should not be implemented." | |
| "That should be left up to free markets, parents and students." | |
| "As long as it doesn't decrease school funding for the Manchester School District." | |
| "Yes, if the underlying test itself is valid." | |
| "By having a unified curriculum and qualified teachers in all our schools. We also need to target at-risk students with programs like Early Intervention.That being said, many of the reasons for student achievement originate in the home. The parents marital status, income, level of education, and attitudes about education have a strong impact on the achievement of students." | |
| "Expulsion should be used for serious offenses to ensure the safety of other students as well as the integrity of education at district schools." | |
| Did not answer. | |
| "Yes, but I am concerned that our current eployee review process is not being done. I am also concerned that teacher reviews can be subjective based on the staff's personal feelings and not the competence of the teacher." | |
| "By a combination of methods: Set up a mentorship program for the underperforming teacher with a more experienced teacher in the district. Offer additional training options - better staff development. Put underperforming teachers on a probationary period while they seek to improve" | |
| "I think the current methods of welcoming parent comments at our meeting as well as on social media help with relations. Also, I am routinely at school functions listening to the concerns of parents about our school system." |
2011
Terrio provided the following statement during his 2011 campaign for an at-large school board seat:
| “ | I want to ensure that Manchester students get a great education. I care about the Manchester public schools because my three children are all enrolled. I volunteer as a teacher’s aide and see the problems that face our schools such as large class size. I also want to fix school reorganization, redistricting and minimize the affect [sic] of budget cuts. I will negotiate with the Mayor and Aldermen in an open and honest manner to resolve problems and find solutions without the use of tricks and threats, as has the current school committee.[21] | ” |
