I was going to run, but ...
I figured that my first motion would be to pay off Dr. Cain's contract and begin the search for a new superintendent that might actually have some vision. If I wasn't successful, I figured that might set-up some bad battles with those happy with Dr. "C" - and you know politics in Pearland!
I hope the new board memebers will help these principals wake up
I hope the new board memebers will help these principals wake up and see that TAKS is not the most important thing in school and that having the highest TAKS scores is not what it's all about. You would be amazed what principals will do.

Suzy Roberts
I was going to thank Ms. Roberts for not running again for position 6, until I saw she was running for position 5.
