A New School Day — From Albert Bender

By Albert Bender

Historical April–May 2003 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

The most important qualities a school board member should have are humility and integrity.

The primary goal is: improve student achievement. Members bring to the board their background. Their election does not make them knowledgeable educators.

I support: Alice Bell has proven true interest in academic achievement.

As a member of EMAC, she spent more time examining learning in SLPS than did many school board members.

Her twelve children attended SLPS.

As a board member, Dr. John P. Mahoney is well known for promoting the physical and mental well-being of our students and educational technology.

This was accomplished by his finding financial resources and programs that benefited our students. Vince Schoemehl will bring governmental knowledge and experience to the board. John Oleski will bring educational knowledge and experience to the board.
