[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is exactly my impression of Zoraya (though she seems like a sweet personable person). I am concerned about the level of attention that she will give APS. She is in it as a stepping stone to the next political position. She is definitely not invested (or really interested in) school issues. Kathleen by far is the only qualified person and gets my number 1 vote. I am voting for Chen as #2 because at least he cares deeply, willing to investigate and get into the weeds (can't see Zoraya doing that). Also, he is willing to dig into finance and management of APS using the latest know-how from corporate America. That is exactly what we need at this time. It will complement the rest of the board. As for Larry, I don't think he will be able to provide the leadership initiative and innovation needed at this time. [/quote]

The last thing on a school board I want is a “corporate” perspective. School systems are a public good, not a business. You’re sounding like you support charter, private and lab schools. Chen doesn’t have the experience to be on a public school board. It’s a shame we have such lame candidates this year that Chen’s even a contender.[/quote]

Agree. It's so arrogant that Chen thinks he can come in and fix APS (without any understanding of it!) because of his corporate experience. Reminds me of Trump.
