So for those of you asking about STAMFORD Board of Education, I am voting for Betsy Allyn, Jackie Heftman and Julia Wade tomorrow. Betsy is a hard working parent who will bring a much needed voice of reason to the board. She has worked her way through the PTO's and I believe can accurately articulate the frustration we have all encountered at time.
I am supporting Jackie and Julia as well, because they deserve to be re-elected, They understand the process, and how the system works. The current board has achieved a level of efficiency and has cut back on the political showboating and public disagreement. I realize that this is not a huge ringing endorsement, but as someone else said, it is better much than the alternatives.
Speaking of the alternatives, everything I have heard about Mike Altamura and heard directly from Andy George does not make any sense to me. They seem like nice guys, but don't have any real clue as to what it takes to govern our school systems, They have been critical of the decisions that the current board has made (perhaps rightfully at times), but without any significant proposals of what they are going to do differently or how they would address the issues currently impacting our system. They have used questionable tactics. I honestly believe they would be run over and completely ineffective, or worse would bring us back to the days of bomb throwing and ineffective political showboating.
Feel free to forward and tag others (or disregard)
