Author    Post   JBToolFist F L I N T O I D Of all the votes you will ever cast, voting for a school board candidate will carry more weight then any vote you will ever submit. In Flint, only a few thousand people ever vote for School Board Candidates, yet, the status of the school system directly influences the degree to which families are likley to move into the school district. The status of the school system in your town has a direct correlation on your property values as a home owner. I would wish that all civic minded individuals would take the time to vote for all elections. But if you really want to make a difference on the local level, cast a vote at your school board election. Flint Community Schools Board Election: May 8.

When Frank Manley opened them up to after school programs, things REALLY took off for the kids, parents, and the community alike.

Bring back Community Schools! Bring back Community School Directors! Thu Mar 01, 2007 10:08 pm  Flint Senior Guest God bless Frank Manley and C.S. Mott. If flint ever needed people like them again, now would be a good time. Wed Mar 07, 2007 12:03 pm  Adam Ford F L I N T O I D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Manley It doesn't seem like we are following Manley's plans. Why? I assume Flint's governor Crapo must have been a decent leader as well. If it hadn't been for him there would be no general motors. _________________ Adam Ford Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:10 am  terrybankert F L I N T O I D What can we do to increase voter turn out in this election? What can we do to increase Citizen awareness about the Flint School Board candidates? By the way everybody in Flint should be at the Next meeting of the Flint Board of Education and ask Milton and Cleaves. What the hell is going on? I think the next meeting is Wed 4/4/07 7 pm at Sarvis Center next to Whiting Auditorium off Robert T, Longway. 4/3/07 Double check date and time. I will be late if there at all. Consider posting your report of the meeting here on Flint Talk! Your thoughts Terry Bankert attorneybankert@yahoo.com 4/2/07 Tue Apr 03, 2007 4:53 am  Rapunzel Guest This is a rough draft- date and time are correct. Update later.
