S.O.S.: Save Our Schools (Part II)
March 20, 2010
The local blog called Action Alameda recently
asked mayoral candidates whether we
support the upcoming parcel measure for
our schools. Here's the response I sent to
Action Alameda:
"Yes, I endorse the upcoming parcel tax
measure wholeheartedly. Our schools need
the funding because of the dramatic cuts
made by Sacramento legislators.
"The fact of the matter is that when
prospective residents and/or businesses
look for places to locate, the first question
on their mind is, 'How good are the schools?'
So, we need the best possible school
district if we hope to be the progressive,
world-class city we are striving to be."

In his February speech supporting AUSD's June 2010
parcel tax measure, mayoral candidate Daysog thanks
Mr. Ed Winberg, a former Encinal High School history
teacher who not only taught Daysog and other EHS
students but also took the time to help students get
up-close look into real-life issues of the day.
Prior to Daysog, a number of speakers spoke against
District efforts to educate students about Alameda's
diversity, particularly about families headed by gay /
lesbian parents. Daysog encouraged the District to
continue broadening horizons of students similar to
ways that Mr. Winberg broadened students' horizons.
