Tuesday Open Thread
I am back and it seems to be quite a busy week. Ballots are dropping this week for the November 4th election. I'll have more to say on the ballot measures on preschools but, from being out on the campaign trail, I see that it seems to be shaping up somewhat like the charter school measure. Meaning, unions against wealthy ed reformers. I will be speaking about the two preschool measures at a voters forum this Thursday, Oct. 16th at Horizon House, 900 University Street, starting at 7:30 pm. This is co-sponsored with the League of Women Voters who have already recommended a no vote to both measures. (Meaning, vote no on the first question and send idea back to the drawing board which is my position as well.) The agenda for both the Operations Committee meetings this week on Thursday the 16th are still not available. That seems odd but I suspect it's because the Board may be considering finding funds to accept the Federal Reserve building and renovate it...
