<< Hello List members, Although I am in Florida, and getting prepared to evacuate in the face of Ivan the Terrible Hurricane, I implore you to RUN, not walk, to the polls and VOTE for Doug Mann! He has for years, done his homework, and sometimes, that of the existing school board members, for them. He has offered many ideas to stem the flow of educational waste, and what he may not be certain of, he actually attempts to search out real answers. If he is elected, I don't believe he will change any, except to pursue solutions more aggressively. I have a very intelligent granddaughter in first grade in Minneapolis. I don't intend to let her be "dumbed down" nor bullied, nor her educational possibilities stunted by an inadequately managed system. I will come yank her out myself. The system needs help. Give them Doug Mann.
