We have had more than 5 years of Sorum and tell us teachers if things have improved for you? Have students progressed further? Have you been trained appropriately? Have you received just compensation for your dedication? Sorum and Company have gotten their fair share of raises and glory and can't produce one shred of data to show improvement. They base it all on the STAAR test but can't articulate how the 30 or more schools that have failed will be improved. It's more of the same.
We will highlight one board member who has already chosen re-election but we call it re-jection.
You will be seeing this logo for the upcoming campaign and if you watch her Facebook she is busy taking pictures to make sure that she is seen as caring for children and moving the education needle. Not sure how she sees her needle but our is on EMPTY. EMPTY promises, hurting our students, making sweet deals on the backs of our taxpayers. Let's not forget how she feels about other children and why not since as board member she gets to choose what school her own children attend.
Let's see.. the daughter got a seat at the Young Women's academy which we assume she went through the same process as every other student in the district, which we doubt very much from conversations from people close to the school. Then this school year she ends up at Paschal which we wonder if she went through the process of being accepted like every other student, which we doubt. So the position has it's benefits.
Let's play back her comments on what kids should do who have to ride an hour on a bus just to go to a school of choice: take it away Tobi!
Let's not be fooled folks because you can't hide this. Then let's go back to her deposition on the whole Palazzolo case, she not knowing that she was meeting with people who had an interest in the district and should not have happened even with the Mayor present. Guess it pays to do what you have to do in a sleazy way. The deposition is lengthy but worth the read, here is the link:

Let's also not forget the supposed error from the last campaign on money she took from a convicted lawyer which she later changed almost a year after it should have been done.
Read all about it:

Here we have Jackson photo op but doesn't support LGBT students even with a transgender family member.
We also have Norm Robbins refusing to put agenda items basically using his power to do what he wants without any accountability to district/state policies. He says that there is no bullying occurring and that he doesn't believe retaliation happens.. pfff!!
The bond is a bust but they will tell you what a success it was for them so they can put it on their resume. They lied to the public.

Then under Needham we have the teacher who had a relationship with a student in front of everybody's face and the teacher left this year.. after how long. The evidence was there and nothing was investigated.

So while this wrangling continues our students suffer, Sorum and Company get to do what they want with teachers, bullying is not resolved and so on. If we all want more of the same then we allow the same people to get elected over and over but if you want something different, go out and get your voice heard. CHANGE IS NEEDED NOW!
