I will soon be making definitive recommendations as to candidates for positions on the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Board of Education who are running in the 9 August 2022 primary.
The following candidates are given at https://vote.minneapolismn.
>>>>>
I
>>>>>
At-Large
*****Keri Jo Felder (5/17/2022)
*****Collin Beachy (5/17/2022)
Sony Emerick (5/24/2022)
Jaton White (5/24/2022)
Harley Meyer (5/26/2022)
Lisa Skjefte (5/27/2022)
Comment >>>>> DFL endorsed candidates are always heavily beholden to the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT), the teacher's union that effectively advocates for better pay and working conditions but always opposes needed systemic change. I will be opposing in particular the candidacy of Felder, an irascible egotist who opposes the best parts of the MPS Comprehensive District Design (CDD) that rationalize transportations routes for cost effectiveness, locates magnet schools more equitably at the center of the district, and induces attendance at neighborhood schools, with a vow to make the latter more academically successful.
District 1
Abdul Abdi (5/27/2022)
Comment >>>>> This is an interesting case; Abdi is not endorsed by the DFL or Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT) but is running unopposed after DFL-endorsed Mary Jo McCollow withdrew.
District 3
*****Fathia Feerayarre (5/17/2022)
Comment >>>>> Feerayarre is running unopposed.
District 5
*****Lori Norvell (5/17/2022)
Lorraine Spies (5/18/2022)
Leslie Haugland-Smith (5/24/2022)
Laurelle Myhra (5/24/2022)
Elena Condos (5/31/2022)
Comment >>>>> I am leaning toward recommending that voters opt for Elena Condos.
