I have been asked by James Hardy, candidate for Akron Public School Board, to invite bloggers to visit his website (www.believeinjameshardy.com) to find out about a progressive candidate committed to a better future for Akron students.
Hardy's platform is simple: the school board should be a public body, holding regular town hall style meetings; as one of Ohio's large urban districts, Akron Public should increase pressure on Columbus for a solution to the heavy reliance on property taxes to fund schools; and, public school districts must show their successes and everyday classroom miracles to compete head-on for the support of parents and other local stakeholders, taking the fight right to charter schools.
James Hardy asks you to look around the website, to volunteer or contribute, and to email questions or comments to: james@believeinjameshardy.com. Most importantly, if you're a registered Akron voter, come out November 8th and vote for James Hardy for Akron Public School Board. With you help, we'll help make Ohio blue again.
