… and again I say no!
A few minutes ago I received a Facebook message stating that Charlie Stadtlander is running for Atlanta School Board District 3. Seriously? Really? You’re joking, right?
This is the same guy who launched a campaign to run for City Council, spent weeks defending why he was a gay man who didn’t really support transgender folks, then spent time defending why he was once President of the Log Cabin Republicans but now is “fiercely Independent”. Then Charlie miscalculated and used poor judgment and stepped away from his awesomely planned City Council race. Then he thought about getting back into the City Council race.
Do ya really think that I’m willing to hand my school property tax dollars to this guy? That would be a resounding “NO”.
District 3 covers the following schools:
ELEMENTARY: Burgess-Peterson, Drew Charter, East Lake, Lin, Morningside, Toomer, Whitefoord
MIDDLE: Coan, Inman
HIGH: Grady, Crim
I have a vested interest in who is representing this District because this is where I live. This District needs someone who is invested in the community. A person not running for the sake of gaining power. Someone who is going to do right by and for the children attending the District’s schools.
I think the current school board member, Cecily Harsch-Kinnane, is doing a fine job representing this District. Here’s a bit of Cecily’s background:
Cecily Harsch-Kinnane has been involved in Atlanta Public Schools for nine years. She and her husband, Paul, have three children in APS and she has served as PTA president at Morningside E.S., on the PTA boards at Inman M.S. and Grady H.S., as co-president of the Council of Intown Neighborhoods and Schools and on the principal selection committee at several schools.
Charlie pick another race…another District. We’re fine over here in District 3.
