The winners of this race were NOT my pick. And I plan on holding them accountable for the promises they made at the candidate Fourm that took place at Rogers Middle school a while back when they were trying to sell themselves to the teachers, students and parents of Lawndale. I wrote down every word you said every promise you made to make CVU more teacher, student and parent friendly and to change the meeting times to a more acceptable time so parents can actually attend. CVU you may have one this race, BUT NOT THE FIGHT!!
