Holy cats! 18,000 employees and a 1.1 billion dollar budget 6 years ago! That’s a lot of power and muscle.

Holy cats! 18,000 employees and a 1.1 billion dollar budget 6 years ago! That’s a lot of power and muscle. Our system is about 40% that size but the critical part for me is how effective they are at educating, particularly with kids of color. We have a lot of new Americans living here from Africa and South Asia. We also have a large number of Mexican Americans and others of Central American ancestry, particularly El Salvador. So far, we have had people focused on education on the board but this year, there are 15 candidates for 4 spots and they include lots of right-wing radicals. My late husband was a teacher; so was my mom. Just trying to keep the focus on real education here.
Sorry for the dated numbers. I thought they were still pertinent. While we focused on National races and the State races the Republicans were seeding Local offices, election boards, school boards and judgeships. We need to catch up at the local level.
There are dedicated Educators in my family as well. A noble profession!
