[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grosso claims he does have a clue, as somebody who grew up in DC (he's from Petworth). He just started his new term as at at-large candidate in January, so we're probably stuck with him for years. His agenda as Chair of the City Council Committee on Ed has been in reducing suspensions and expulsions in schools and opposing vouchers.  He's shown scant interest in meeting the education needs of a neglected but fast-rising demographic - high SES families EotP.  However, he only got 20% of the vote, and isn't terribly popular with either high SES white parents or low SES AA parents, so will likely be vulnerable when facing reelection, regardless of Bowser's fate.

In the burbs, parents commonly use these boards to organize to back local candidates advancing an education agenda they support, e.g. improving neighborhood middle and high schools and expanding test-in options. Ward 6 DCPS parents could follow suit by organizing to dump Grosso and Allen.

Grosso's  Wiki site says he grew up in rural Virginia and only went to high school when in Petworth. So what high school did he attend? Roosevelt???  Or private? My guess is the latter.[/quote]
