The big issue facing any school is very simple. It boils down to one word - excellence.

With the exception of the March school-board meeting, I think that I would be more available than many other people who work more normal kind of jobs.

For a public high school arts program to be recognized for excellence is truly an honor.

I think that is unprofessional, I think that is unethical and I am aghast that somebody would do that. This is a closed club, and they don't want anybody in their club, and that's what this e-mail says.

I think that our public schools sometimes get a bad rap - and sometimes deservedly so. I think the goal of every school system has to be excellence.

I don't know what his agenda is. I have to listen to what he has to say. I vote for the man who I think is going to do the best job for the state.
