 Why are you seeking election to
the Washington DC School Board?
I'm seeking election to the school board because of the high rate of
corruption and deceit towards the citizens and children of the District
of Columbia. The school board, presently, is in complete shambles,
behaves as if it has no responsibility, no visible means for processing
complaints and no accountability. No one knows where the money is.
where or to whom the money's going to, and for what purposes the money
is being spent.
What are your qualifications
for the position you seek?
I have a deep sincerity
for and a God-given ability & honest approach towards the welfare of
children. I have run an organization, the Complaint and Resolution
Center, which identifies and monitors complaints within agencies for
more than 15 years. These experiences have provided me with a deep
insight on identifying problems and solving them. Whoever is chosen for
the District IV Member position must be able to possess these
qualifications.
In your
opinion what are the five major issues facing the Washington DC
School System?
- Civil Rights - Violating
the rights & welfare of children is a major civil rights issue.
- Accountability - Lack of
system-wide accountability, financial, policy making and
administrative.
- Systemic Corruption -
System is corrupt and non-functional.
- Safety & Security
- Major Heath Issues -
system lacks proper medial personnel & facilities and high
incidence of HIV-AIDS within student population.
Who or what is to blame?
We all are to blame and it will require all of us to get involved to
clean it up. We seem to focus more on hiring people to work and run the
system based on their number of degrees as opposed to their desires,
abilities and qualifications to perform the required duties.
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?
First I believe this is a
tactic that Councilmember Fenty is using to activate discussion about
the status of the school system. I do not believe that "Mayor"
Fenty would not violate the voting rights of the citizens of the
District of Columbia.
Do
you have a web site for your candidacy?
No, however my email
address is complaintcenter@comcast.net
