The disappointment in the election results came in the race for Toledo Public Schools Board of Education.
The lines were clear; if you wanted union-driven status quo, your vote went to Jack Ford or Lisa Sobecki. If you wanted progressive change, your vote went to Cheryl Catlin or Chris Myers. By wide margins, voters played it safe, casting more than twice as many votes for Ford (31 percent) and Sobecki (30.6 percent) as they did for Myers (13 percent) and Catlin (11 percent).
This is tragic, because Catlin and Myers had clear plans for change — radical change — and that, of course, is what derailed them. Visit www.catlin4qualityeducation.com and http://myersforschoolboard.com and see what might have been instead of what will be.
