Dallas is holding a crucial school board election. Early voting started on May 30. The election is June 10.
The balance of power hangs on this run-off election.
Lori Kilpatrick is a teacher and a mother of a child in the Dallas public schools.
Lori is in a run-off with businessman Dustin Marshall. Marshall supports all the failed corporate reform ideas, like Jeb Bush’s A-F school grading system, which is highly correlated with family income. His children attend private schools.
Lori is an advocate for public schools.
Her vote would be the swing vote that turns control over to a board majority that respects teachers and public schools.
Please vote.

Dr. Ravitch. Thank you for helping Lori Kirkpatrick. There are a few corrections that need to be made.
She is not a teacher, but instead she’s a Physician Assistant for the 1.5 billion dollar safety net hospital in Dallas, Parkland Hospital. She developed and manages the Pedatric Special Needs Clinic at Parkland serving DISD students each and every day. She’s a recognized leader chairing committees on quality and human capital and was physician assistant of the year in 2013. She has been endorsed by local leaders Angela Hunt, Philip Kingston, Adam Medrano as well as local hero Dr. Brian William’s well known for saving the lives of the Dallas police officers after the shooting during the Black Lives Matters rally downtown in 2016.
Thank you again for your help!

Sorry for the error. I knew that Lori is a physician’s assistant. I guess her strong support for teachers caused me to stumble.
