Position Papers
My Promise to You
Every decision I make will be in the best interest of the students.
The fallacy of No Child Left Behind
"There is a big difference between advocating a level playing field in the schools and measuring everybody by the same yardstick. That is the fallacy of NCLB!" -- Sandra Nichols
"Eyes Only" Endorsement Process Lacks Transparency
When public servants, or those who want to be, meet with special interest groups behind closed doors, promises may get made of which the public is unaware.
