<< Many candidates, like David Dayhoff, agreed that the school system is failing because of a lack of vision and clear strategies. Dayhoff said the school board is suffering from "bungled" policies, "disastrous" school-closing plans, and a "massive stampede of children out of the district." >> At the February 10, 2004 school board meeting, David Dayhoff spoke in favor of the "disasterous" school closing plan which the board backed away from, according to the official meeting minutes (A link to a pdf file at the district's web site is provided below.) Evelyn Eubanks, Carla Bates and others spoke against it. I did not attend that meeting but spoke against the plan at two community meetings (At Washburn and North High). As I recall, David Dayhoff also spoke at one or both of those community meetings, again supporting the school closing plan, and criticizing the board for not sticking to their guns. http://www.mpls.k12.mn.us/sites/78254f07-8bd2-4334-a7cb-fca95ff9dcb9/uploads/2 _10_04.pdf -Doug Mann, King Field Mann for School Board www.educationright.com - REMINDERS: 1.
