LSC Election results

Filed under: General and Misc — Mr. Neidlinger at 10:14 pm on Thursday, April 17, 2008

Elementary schools across the city held their LSC elections today and Drummond’s was particularly popular. We had 10 parents and 4 community members throw their name in the hat to represent you and our students here at Drummond. Tonights results are as follows:

Nicole Cantello - 225
Jonathan Goldman - 211
Mark Kwiatkowski - 192
Mike Walther - 189
Sabrina Craig - 109
Mike Hannan - 101
Jennifer James - 101
Jorge Salas - 96
Marques Martin-Hayes - 64
Mary Zerkel - 62

The top 6 candidates are elected as our parent representatives however, Drummondd has a tie for 6th place and this means that the current council decides the appointment or the tie breaker.

As for community members:

Scott Trotter - 118
Connie Grunwald - 76
John Hennelly - 71
Greg Ahern - 38

The top two candidates will be our new Community representatives.

I want to express my pleasure in seeing so many candidates apply to our schools’ LSC. The fact that so many individuals want to support our students and our teachers in their academic pursuits is really something to appreciate. I want to congratulate the winning candidates of this evening and tell you how much I look forward to the rich dialogue we will have regarding our students. I also want to thank our current LSC council who has done an extraordinary job of guiding our school through some significant changes over the past two years. I appreciate all that you have done on behalf of our school.

Thank you all and goodnight.

Mr. Neidlinger

I am beyond flabbergasted. I believed that dirty politics was for true politicians not for anyone that cares about the children AT Drummond first. To me, this shows the parents that were involved during the school year, going to the LSC meetings, attending various fund raisers,communicating with teachers and staff on how to best support them and our students that they don’t matter as much as a group of self-absorbed, selfish few that feel the need to mislead, use ulterior motives disguised as friendship and use the good natured group of dedicated people that continuously give all that they can to improve the learning of OUR KIDS, not just a SELECT FEW. I am sober now, because I must have been drunk thinking that organizing people by going door to door, calling people meant you LOVE the kids… maybe not. Maybe the value of your home clouds that…. shame on those few that spoiled this great bunch!
