Since many have asked, I wanted you to know that my thoughts on the 11/3/09 levy results are coming soon. I am gathering data as I write and hope to have something in the next week or two.
As I put these thoughts together, I must thank those of you who contacted me over the past months with questions, concerns and compliments. While true that there were a few very visible leaders in the levy campaign, this tremendous result could not have been accomplished without the unsung efforts of hundreds of volunteers and the votes of the thousands who showed up Tuesday. As Board President this year, I was determined that my legacy would not be that this District faced multiple levy defeats, and the resultant emasculation of our District, without a fight. As we beat back the anti-levy, anti-public education, anti-teacher, anti-teacher union forces [although they vociferously denied all of my descriptions and, in fairness, these were not the only folks who opposed the levy, just the most vocal and most disingenuous] and preserved this District, I came into contact with so many wonderful, energetic, positive people [parents, recent empty-nesters, students, seniors, long lost friends] that my belief remains that this District will continue to achieve its educational mission for many years to come. Thanks.
