I am excited to announce my campaign for reelection to Madison’s School Board! Almost three years ago, I was sworn in as a member of Madison’s Board of Education. These past couple of years have been challenging for public education in Madison, our state, and our nation.

With the hiring of our new superintendent and the development of our budget, we have an opportunity to expand the capabilities of public education and what it means to our community. There is still a lot of work to do, as public education is the backbone of our society.

Today and every day, we celebrate the perseverance, strength and beauty of Indigenous communities around the world. Our traditions, cultures and lifeways are here to stay as we build a world where all Indigenous peoples are respected and heard. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

I’m praying for our native Hawaiian brothers and sisters! May they hold on to their land and build back stronger. 🙏🏾

This morning I had a conversation with an urban planner and in the middle of our chat, he asked “are you one of those people who think everything is about race? Im asking so I know how to proceed with you..”

I responded, “land use in this country has always been about race.. 1/

A team of Madison East High teachers has published a unique book of pandemic-era poetry as they grappled with how to stay connected with each other and navigate the challenges and uncertainty of COVID. Madison365's Omar Waheed reports.

[Scott Girard @sgirard9]

The budget sent to Gov. Tony Evers increased the revenue limit for school districts by $325 per pupil for “the 2023-24 school year and the 2024-25 school year.” Using his veto pen, Evers turned that into: “for 2023-2425," extending it by four centuries. https://t.co/7q8Xgec42r

Trade schools, community colleges, and public universities should all be free.

Yes, free.

As in, you go to school and it doesn’t cost a dime.

Free.

Like elementary school, middle school & high school.

Free.

The Supreme Court's decision to strike down affirmative action, including in professional schools, like medical and nursing, will have detrimental consequences on Black health for generations to come. This is about life & death for us. Today, we are only 5% of physicians.
