As a parent of two children in elementary school, voting on this was too easy. All the Republican candidates were for neighborhood schools, while all the Democrat candidates for for 'socio-economic integration' (i.e. - bussing my kids to another school across town).
How do you expect to win an election by going completely against what the overwhelming majority of parents of school-age kids in this area see as the #1 issue??
We want to keep our neighborhood schools, dummies!
Easy Vote!
