the Washington DC School Board?

can help build a world-class school system by INVOLVING and respecting
and asking for help from parents, teachers, students and neighbors.

In your opinion what are the
five major issues facing the Washington DC School System?
- Crumbling buildings that do not
serve or respect children.
- A curriculum that does not
speak to children's dreams.
- A closed structure that shuts
out the public.
- Waste and mismanagement.
- Top-down governing that ignores
parents, teachers, students
|
Who or what is to blame?
All of us are to blame for allowing this injustice, but
especially our leaders. |
What is your opinion of mayoral
candidate Adrian M. Fenty's position that the elected Washington DC
School Board be converted to an appointed advisory panel?
I support a fully elected school board. Elected school board
members have the most chance of bringing residents together for our
schools. |

you have a web site for your candidacy?
