This is misinformation.

BTW has to increase the number of teachers for the number of students.

That's easy. Add more students to the new bigger building.

They can also get rid of the assistant principal and pr person and let the cluster coordinators teach a full load along with the department heads.

They may have to lose a few positions, but not very many.

Price sounds like he does not care about the folks that pay the bills on the shift where he does not get paid.

Angela Hunt and Carla Ranger need to join forces. Their on the same side - the people of Dallas.

I am starting to like Ms. Ranger.

I am so sick of Ron Price's pity parties that I can't stand it. He may not get "paid" directly from the DISD, but he has definitely parlayed his board seat into a fairly lucrative "business" of traveling around the country on the DISD's dime charging up phone bills on his DISD cell phone.

Anyone who still has a shred of respect for this loser needs to read Shutz' description of the Price pair sticking their fingers in their ears and singing "Nah, nah, nah" when he encountered them at a school event. How embarrassing and childish.

Let's hope that he gets run out of his DISD position AND doesn't win his city council bid. And then he can go back to whatever hamburger stand he came from in the first place.

If the voting part is so unimportant, why don't they just vote to make the current board members Members for Life?

Not like anybody can stop them (court orders, should it ever get that far, are also just opinions, after all).

We have reached an all-new low in Dallas politics. This is embarrassing and I am really tired of having to threaten, cajole, and coerce folks into doing the right thing. So, it looks we're going to have to literally take to the streets in protest or go to court to compel an election...wow.

Thank you, Carla, for being a public servant and not a self-servant.

The rest of you DISD trustees should really look yourselves in the mirror and try to remember who you are supposed to be serving.

Carla is about the only sane member of the school board. Shes standing up for the tenets that made this country what it is, maybe she should run for council or dare I say, mayor. Ron Price is nothing but a 2 bit hustler opportunist who'd rather throw out proper civics because he "isnt getting paid", hopefully this is the tide that turns in carolyn davis favor on election day.

Had time to ponder over this subject, the only option that should be on the table should be to schedule a special election that should be held no later than August, not in November. With exception of DISD trustees Carla Ranger and Adam Medrano who were the only trustees who voted against extending DISD trustee term limits; the remaining set of DISD trustees (Blackburn, Price, Flores, Ellis, Bingham, Lowe, Garza) have exhibited outright contempt to the voting rights of DISD taxpayer voters throughout the DISD boundary.

The whole key to this issue will be the following:

1. The public must demand for an August special election; not a November special election. DISD taxpayers should pay heed to DISD teacher/community activist Diane Birdwell and get organized and involved in the campaign and election of the next three trustees that will be elected. I propose creating a DISD educational PAC that could be utilized in order to assist DISD common taxpayers to have a voice in electing their respective trustees in these three school districts.

2. DISD taxpayers need to strongly encourage DISD trustees Leigh Ann Ellis, Dr. Lew Blackburn, and Ron Price to put the interest of DISD taxpayers and their students at the top of their priority and vote for the option of the special election to be held sooner than November, preferably in August. Word is Ellis is on the bubble, there are those who say she has had it with the leadership Hinojosa has exhibited in the DISD. Let's hope she can finally tell Jack Lowe to take a hike and not be worried about how Jack Lowe will affect her business if she votes in an independent manner. Ron Price has had a good run at the DISD, time to do the right thing Ron; you're not the same Ron Price that you were before you were first elected to the horseshoe at the DISD who worked the streets to save our youth. We need that Ron Price to come back home. Dr. Blackburn, word on the street is that you place a higher priority on what your boss (Grant East) and what some members of the Dallas business community want in relation to the decisions you make on the horseshoe rather than the needs of DISD common mom and pop taxpayers who work hard to educate their children at the DISD.

Let's hope recommendation number two above is not the case. Let’s hope DISD trustees Carla Ranger, Adam Medrano will now be able to count on the votes of DISD trustees Leigh Ann Ellis, Ron Price, and Dr. Lew Blackburn to schedule a special election as soon as possible, before November. I have no doubt where DISD trustees Jerome Garza, Jack Lowe, and Dr. Edwin Flores will stand on this vote. These guys exemplify misguided decision making that mirrors corruption, self serving, and arrogance at its best.
