PLEASE consider the old man, he got the AEA endorsement where they look at PLANS. Also I remember his name and he used to work at LULAC, I'm telling you he might be legit. Also no disrespect to Kathleen she's my #2 pick but I took off the last two bullets (all of them have kids that are in or went thru APS, and all of them are advocates of something)[/quote]

The AEA PAC (very different from the regular org) is a joke. Every teacher knows that or they’re not paying attention. I’’m hoping ATU will do endorsements. There a few other very involved teachers and parents whose opinions I value and they all uniformly say KC is #1 choice. Yet the AEA passed her over. I had hoped the endorsement for Angelo last year was an anomaly but NOPE  now I see they should just be ignored. Or even better do the opposite. [/quote]

Ypu sound so bitter but maybe I'm overreading it. But if we have two votes why not send the two most qualified people to the school board? That can include KC. I just don't want to see someone who doesn't know what they're doing get the position. Does the ATU do endorsements?[/quote]

DP.  AEA endorsements were awful. skipping over Kathleen for Zuraya who knows nothing about the position. [/quote]

I didn't have much respect for the AEA but now I have lost any last shred of it. Anyone with a pulse can see that Kathleen is the most qualified candidate by a mild. I guess I can see the teachers endorsing one of their own with larry being a sub, but Zuraya????

Maybe the AEA PAC doesn't want someone who will actually ask the hard questions? [/quote]
