Elect Seth Bloom

VICTORY

noreply@blogger.com (Seth J Bloom) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 17:21:00 +0000

Thank you all so much for your support. It is because of you that Seth was able to overcome huge odds and disgusting slander from his opponent to be victorious on election day.

Seth's commanding victory shows that the city is ready for reform for the children and their schools. We are proud of the progressive and positive campaign that we ran and are most proud of Seth for his determination and bravery to take on a corrupt political machine and win.

Last night as we watched the news with a group of family, friends and volunteers, we cheered as the check mark was put next to Seth's name. Now the work begins to change our schools and city for the better, a job Seth will take on along with a new majority of reform candidates - a first in recent history here.

Again, thank you all for your wonderful support. In the coming weeks, we will be planning a victory party and we hope to see you all there.

Accountability

Improve the teacher drop-out rate so that our students have experienced, trusted professionals who are dedicated to making a difference in their lives.

Create a direct dialogue with teachers so that they can get what they need to be prepared and effective educators.

Support performance based pay raises to provide real incentive for our teachers to perform at their highest capacity.

Sponsor community workshops where parents and family members can learn how to bring educational elements into their homes, so that our students have a supportive family environment that is conducive to their success.

Combine advanced technology with new textbooks and state of the art classrooms to give our children the edge they need in the 21st century.

Practice fiscal responsibility to get the Orleans Parish School Board budget back on track so that we can renovate and restore our schools.

Create a mandatory Community Service requirement for all of our students to give them the power to effect change in their own neighborhoods. By helping their communities throughout their school careers, our students will have confidence in themselves and understand the challenges facing their communities.

Support charter schools and their unique advantages in order to help all of our students reach their greatest potential.
