A reader says that Las Vegas teachers are taking action to correct the errors of their elected board:
Here in Las Vegas teachers have moved so as to concentrate their votes. We will be able to remove a majority of the reform bent board. This last week we had to close several schools because the air conditioners failed. Our Superintendent outsourced most maintenance and spent millions on more consultants and tests, but refused to spend allocated money to maintain buildings. The board will be gone soon, we have the votes to remove at least four of them. Next thing you know they will be trying to tell teachers they can’t vote. They like appointed boards for this very reason.
Get your candidates elected! Let us know the outcome! Way to go!
As the truth dawns on teachers, we will see more and more push back from our ranks. I’m positive of this! Go Las Vegas!
Hopeful, but I still see apathy among my fellow teachers in Vegas as well as misconstrued contempt from the community. The Superintendent and the Board need to go along with the head of the communications office. All they do is lie and play shell games with money and children’s lives.
Too bad Washoe isn’t following suit. The idiot board keeps putting in Eli Broad cronies for superintendent jobs. The current one has no experience whatsoever as a classroom teacher.
I know, he came from Clark County, he’s an accountant that used to work for your district in finance. My condolences.
This is what it will take. Unite and be strong. Stand up for teacher’s, parents, and children’s rights!
