Howard emphasized that Sharon was offered money but would not take it. Apparently, he lied. The Tennessean article by Joey Garrison clearly says she received $2,500 from the Super PAC, which supports charter schools, of course. She is just another bought "winner" like the Will guy and Kim lady.

He returns emails and phone calls.<br /><br />I don't agree with all of Ed Kindall's votes. but when I express my alternate opinion, he is not condescending. <br /><br />Ed is proactive when it comes to visiting all of the schools in his district. Sharon said she will visit only when invited. <br /><br />Ed Kindall is accessible and has proven that he is willing to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-7366476819877116062012-07-27T18:47:01.557-05:002012-07-27T18:47:01.557-05:00Is TN public education headed for this?

By stacking school boards they tip the balance in their favor on critical votes- sometimes making decisions the public does NOT want. Controlling the school board gives them a vice grip over all decisions, most critical is the superintendent.<br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/25/denver-school-board-election_n_1030906.html<br /><br />Corporate superintendent "training" is percolating from Eli Broad's Broad Superintendents Academy. Broad "trains" superintendents in corporate reforms by deliberately selecting non-educators. The Broad Academy has no outside accountability, no state supervision, no expertise in education, no history of scholarship in education. How will public learn of conflicts of interest if the Broad foundation wields such influence over schools? <br /><br />http://dianeravitch.net/2012/07/27/does-the-public-have-a-right-to-know-about-broad-academy/<br /><br />Check out the new Broad Board of Directors: Joe Klein, Rupert Murdoch's right hand guy, KIPP's Richard Garth, Harold Ford, Jr. of Morgan Stanley, Michelle Rhee, Wendy Kopp, Larry Summers. <br /><br />Will the DCSB present to the public ALL Broad Candidates to the public and point out their "reform efforts and outcomes parts of the country?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12813056667733621829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-7050020396295393302012-07-25T14:13:45.545-05:002012-07-25T14:13:45.545-05:00Thank you and Support Ed Kindall School Board Dist...Thank you and Support Ed Kindall School Board District 1.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
