214,241 views for May 2026, with eight (8) days yet to go in the month.
The big
leaps from what seemed at the time in August 2026 a tremendous achievement
indicate that in the next months the ascent may continue, since my articles

Viewers
are as interested in my articles pertinent to educational philosophy, Taiwan
national integrity, and book reviews as they are my many pure data
presentations; but the latter do gain a
great deal of attention from certain interested individuals and groups in the
Minneapolis area.
This has
been true, for example, in the following data set from my recent compilation of
Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Davis Center (central office) staff by
position of salary.
Viewers
are interested in the revelation that ten staff members receive $200,000 or
more; and in the increasing gap between
the highest earners and those just below.
While very recently, many Davis Center staff received annual salaries
between $70,000 and $90,000 per year, the number in this category has slimmed
considerably as the salaries of those at the very highest level have increased
in monetary amount.

Farcically,
the current intellectually challenged members of the MPS Board of Education seem
to fantasize that my impact can be diminished by altering the rules pertaining
to Public Comments.
The
Policy Committee led by education establishment sycophant MPS District 5 Board
Member Lori Norvelle is pushing to prioritize those signing up so as to
potentially preclude my making comments when sign-ups extend beyond twenty-five
(25).
Further, fellow
creature of the education establishment MPS District 6 Board Member Greta
Callahan mentioned in discussion at the 12 May 2026 regular Board business
meeting that she would not be opposed to penalizing those who consistently
break Public Comment rules by conveying that such rule beakers will be
prohibited from making Public Comments for a number of months to be decided.
Callahan
is referring here to my recalling, at the end of my Public Comments for several
successive months, the evidence that I presented in the form of my analysis of
the abominably written dissertation of Superintendent Lisa Sayles-Adams, as
powerful indication that this mean-spirited and deceptive leader is an academic
fraud. In making such a comment, I am
challenging Chair Beachy’s illegal anti-free speech dictum that “no
identifiable information” or comment either negative or positive referring to a
specific MPS staff member may be made.
Following
the decision pertinent to Public Comments that the Board will make at the next
(9 June 2026) meeting of the Board will be both intriguing and amusing.
The
current draft of the proposed changes would produce prioritization as follows >>>>>
Minneapolis
Public Schools Board of Education Priority Criteria Draft for Those Making
Public Comments
The
School Board will hear up to twenty-five (25) public comments at monthly
regular business meetings. Individuals should pre-register to be considered to
provide public comment prior to the meeting by filling out the public speaker
form (20 slots). There will also be an opportunity to sign up in-person from
5-5:15 p.m. on the day of the meeting (5 slots).
Sign-up
Guidelines:
Priority
of speakers will be given in the following order:
● Current
MPS students
● Current
caregiver of an MPS student or current MPS staff speaking to a meeting agenda
item.
● Current
caregiver of an MPS student, current MPS staff or a current Minneapolis
resident in the order the request is received. Priority will be given to those
who have not spoken in the past three months.
●
Community members in the order the request is received. Priority will be given
to those who have not spoken in the past three months.
To ensure
appropriate speaker priority, the board office may verify a speaker’s
relationship to the district, including student, caregiver, staff, or
residency.
● Fill
out the pre-registration form (20 slots) or the in-person sign-up form (5
slots) to be considered to provide public comment. You will be asked to provide
your name, address, email, the subject you are addressing in your comment,
noting if it is related to the meeting agenda and noting if you have provided a
comment in the past 3 months.
If you
need assistance, contact Nandi O’Brien at nandi.obrien@mpls.k12.mn.us or
612-668-2090. Draft Priority Criteria Draft ○ The pre-registration form will
close at 12 p.m. the day before the meeting. Individuals will be notified of
their status on the speaking list that evening.
Individuals
participating in the in-person sign up will learn their status when in-person
sign up closes (5:20 p.m.) Guidelines for Speakers:
●
Comments must not reference identifiable information about employees or
students and must not use profanity, insults, or threats. Issues related to
district employees may be submitted in writing to Human Resources or The School
Board and may identify employees by name, title and location.
●
Speakers may not transfer or yield their time to a different individual. ● Only
one person may stand at the podium during a comment.
● If you
have been given a slot to provide public comment in-person, your name will be
projected and called to approach the podium.
● Each
commenter will have up to two (2) minutes to provide their comment.
● Public
commenters should state their name, relationship to MPS, and the topic on which
they are commenting.
● By
signing up to be considered to provide public comment, you agree to all public
comment guidelines and you understand that your comment and information you
provide in the registration form may be considered public data under the
Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
● Ensure
that signs do not obstruct the view of others in the boardroom.
● Public
comments are an opportunity for the Board to hear feedback and input. Board
members will not respond to comments or questions.
● The
Board Chair has full discretion over the public comment period and guidelines.
