Thanks for the information!

Does anyone know anything about the candidates for District 5, 8 , and 9? Who would be the best choice for our kids?

School Board Candidate Mayersohn

Hello Listmates,One of our "own" is running for Broward County School Board in District 4, which is a Northern District around the Coral Springs / Parkland / Margate Area.I say one of our "own" because 's son Garrett, who has cerebral palsy, is an activist too and has traveled to Tallahassee to advocate for various issues. "gets it" when it comes to disabilities and education. He was past Chair of the ESE Advisory Council and helped bring many issues before the Board, which he now wants to become a part of. is also President of Parkland Best Buddy Sports, a most excellent special needs sports program open to all disabled children.http://www.parklandbuddysports.com/about.htmlTonight, July 16th, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm there will be a "Meet the Candidates" Night at Mythos Greek Taverna 2864 North University Drive Coral Springs, FL 33065 . This is a great opportunity to let the other candidate know who is supporting alan "Bob" Mayersohn. could use all the support he can get as District 4 is heavily contested with six candidates in the upcoming election.A real opportunity to put a real advocate for disability issues on our School Board, even if you live outside District 4, if you can make it I hope to see you there.

Hi Kathleen,

On July 18 I posted my comments on candidates for District 8 & 9, can't help

with 5, see below:

Post number 57315

Re: Leach for School Board

I think Leach has made an excellent appointed School Board Member and if I

lived in District 3 I would not hesitate to vote for her.

I would also like to add:

As I posted previously, in District 4 Mayersohn has an ESE son in a

Broward County Public School. As past Chair of the ESE Advisory Council and a

member of numerous Committee's and Council's. " gets " ESE and would make

an excellent addition to the School Board. District 4 has six candidates in the

field, so need all the support he can get. If wins this seat he

will be the only Board member with a significantly disabled child on the Board.

In District 8 (Countywide seat) Donna Korn's main opposition is lin Sands.

lin is a nice guy, former minority leader of the Florida House of

Representatives, well connected, but in my opinion out of touch with Broward

education, and certainly not as well versed as Mrs. Korn. Donna Korn, like

Leach, was appointed to the Board and in my opinion has done a good job so far

and would represent our children's needs and interests better than Mr. Sands.

In District 9 (Countywide seat) Robin Bartleman has been an outstanding advocate

for the ESE community. Robin's entire professional career seems to have involved

Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities. Robin is also the ONLY School Board Member

that attended, up until last year, almost every ESE Advisory Council meeting.

The ESE Advisory Council only see's the rest of the Board around election time.

I am not familiar with any of the candidates from District 5 so I can't offer

any real suggestions there.

I can say that I have met with every one of the candidates above and worked

closely with several of them. In their capacity as Board Members they all have

made themselves available to discuss issues, have represented my concerns

accurately in Board meetings, and voted accordingly.

I recommend the above, and whether you agree with me or not, VOTE.

Thank you,

Steve Moyer
