The PG's recent big spread about Sala Udin is a sign that something's up, and a sign of who the PG and foundations want to see fill the seat.
Jessica Wolfe ran against Jake Wheatley in November. She is opposed to the super PAC Campaign for Quality Schools that is behind the A+ Schools/Cate Reed school board takeover. She is hip to what A+ Schools and Cate Reed are planning. I don't' trust Sala Udin. He is tight with Wheatley and he opposed Dr. Hamlet. I trust Ms. Wolfe if she is interested. Dr. Moriarity, the former principal of Miller is someone who comes to mind.
Ms. Wolfe, would you be interested in running?
The numbers- I had read that this year 5 seats were up for re-election (goes by even/ odd and alternates years) Does That include Tom Sumpter's seat? Cate Reed had already stated that she her her crew were amassing $$ to over take the board-- Prior to Tom Sumpter- the previous representative for his area literally haunted Milliones-- in a very good way-both constituents and professionals would call. Micromanaging-- maybe-- but-- managing! When a school goes downhill, it is very easy for neighborhood take-over. Milliones sounds better this year- not making the news-- but someone please oppose the whole Cate Reed/TFA take over of neighborhoods that are struggling to do better

Sala Udin just announced his run for school board. Questioner called it correctly.
I don't trust Udin and believe he is cahoots with foundations. He did NOTHING to help u prep until a televised riot forced him to speak. I teach in the Hill District and reached out to the HDEC, which he co -chairs, and got nothing.
Nothing to preserve Schenley, which had vastly more opportunities for Hill students, either.
Sala got a presidential pardon from Obama a couple of weeks ago from a conviction back around when they were inventing dirt.
Thanks Obama.
Good bye THOMAS Sumpter. You certainly did your best to help your wife and friends get and keep jobs at the school board. Congrats=I can't think how you helped the students in the Hill.
It's about. Time he is no good to the hill people and never was it was about getting family and friends jobs and now that there in he is out just like the rest of the distric where are the white people that apply o that's rite human resource is all African Americans too
What leadership did he ever exert as president of the board? I followed many of the meetings and saw nothing from him except smiling and grinning. Sala Udin - wasn't he on the board of the August Wilson Center that went broke shortly after opening and had to be bailed out by the taxpayers??
