   With the news today about Carol Wolf, the school board election in the 2nd district is even more important. This board is going to be missing a member who really listens to the parents who send their children to RPS. Someone who truly cares and advocates for all our students.

   Parents need and deserve this voice on the school board and I think Kim Gray will bring this passion and committment for ALL RPS students and parents. We deserve to be heard not given lip service
   from our elected board members. Kim can do this.

   Last thing we need is another School Board member acting like a sorority sister protecting the RPS club instead of being a voice for the people. RPS has lots of problems that need to be fixed and I’m tired of RPS representatives insisting that we cheer the positives and sweep broken schools into the closet. You can see with your own eyes which schools are good and which ones are crappy. Students and teachers are mistreated all the time in RPS and Wolf has been the only one for them to turn to. We need more like her and from what I have heard, Kim Gray would be a voice for the people.

   Please note that the blog from Gray is not from Kim Gray.

   Sorry about that, I would change my name but I’ve been blogging for sometime under the name “Gray.” Next time, I’ll make sure to clarify. Thanks Vicki.

   No problemo Gray. I’m not changing my name either. Just wanted to set things right so as not cause any confusion.

   Wow, I have bad grammer, sorry about that. I’ll make sure I double check my grammer in the future.

   Dear Friends & Citizens,

   I need to decide by this coming Wednesday whether to mount a write-in campaign or to sit this one out and allow Norma Murdoch-Kitt to have a “walk-on” to serve as Northside’s School Board member for the next four years.

   I have already heard from so many of you who have called, dropped by or sent e-mails urging me to battle on for a multitude of reasons. Many of you have offered to help.

   Serving on School Board involves far more than simply representing one’s district, therefore I am asking to hear from citizens throughout the city. I would appreciate it if you could let me know what district you live in when you post a comment.

   In addition to asking for your help with this decision, I would most appreciate hearing from citizens across the city concerning their thoughts are on what the SB’s priorities should be during the next few months leading up to election.

   Please weigh in with what you think of the Richmond School Board and what you would like to see happen to improve the quality of education in the City of Richmond.

   Respectfully,

   Carol A.O. Wolf
   Third District Member
   Co-Chair Student Disciplinary Committee
   Member, Finance Committee
   Member, Legal, Legislative, Policy and Communications Committee
