By Francine Graff. As a Culver City parent, it is time to increase the separation between the teachers unions and the people who make decisions that impact teachers unions. People forget teachers are union members and are influenced by their unions. Parents are focused on what is best for their children.
Two Silbiger Pillars: He Has Integrity and Unfailingly Is Responsive
By Jane Niles. I support Karlo Silbiger’s re-election to the Culver City School Board next Tuesday.

Hurrah for Malsin – Now What About Me?

By Scott Malsin. I had heard from people working on Kathy Paspalis’s School Board re-election campaign that her lawn signs were being stolen from around town.

Where Was the Disclaimer in the Letter That Left Out Taylor’s Name?
By Albert White. I am not sure if I should feel sorry for School Board candidate Vernon Taylor, or if I should congratulate him.
