School Board race? Still undecided

The title says it all. Filing opens tomorrow morning when I take off for vacation. I’ll be home two days before the filings close. I’d be filing at large.

I’m not sure if I’m really a glutton for that much punishment. Its been either a mark of restraint or a tentative peace offering that has kept me silent on our Duluth Schools for much of the past three months. Oh well, the folks in Japan and the Ukraine have had plenty of opportunity to scan my past musings on the subject.

I’d only run if I thought I could help heal old wounds not to stir up more controversy. That doesn’t mean I won’t rip off old scabs if information relevent to fixing our schools has been hidden under them.

I don’t see how any incumbent school board member who presided while our high school classrooms got stuffed with 50 students would dare file for reelection. Maybe they expect that the Chamber of Commerce and the local unions will endorse them.
