Retired NHL Legend Darren McCarthy and Richard Clement. |
I feel that DPS has always been the best when it came to serving the community. The district was damaged from mismanagement from Lansing and, the best way to fix it is from the top down. On or before November 3rd, voters have a chance to elect the best 3 candidates and, recall the other four board members for not representing the will of the people.
I am a graduate of the Detroit Public Schools attending Pasteur Elementary, White Elementary, Hampton Jr. High and Mumford HS where I excelled in music and sports. Although the grades that I earned were not the top of the class, I graduated anyway and was determined to give back to my community by furthering my education past high school.
I am a graduate of Alabama State University where I majored in Computer Information Systems and a member of the Marching band. I also have experience in state and local governments in Lansing and Detroit as an information technology employee. I am currently retired from Teaching at Lansing Community College, Lansing School District, Hamtramck, was fortunate enough to work for 11 years as a guest teacher.
While serving as a board member of Black Data Processing Associates (1990-1997), I was responsible for training disadvantaged youth on computer skills that competed and scored well in national competition with others in their age group. These students went on to be great mothers, fathers, and professionals in medicine and information technology.
I served on the boards of the Michigan Chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana laws and various start up canna-businesses in Michigan. From 2014 to 2017, I worked as a legislative aide to Council-member Pro-Tempore George Cushingberry Jr advising on education and marijuana reform in Detroit. During my tenure on the Michigan NORML board of directors, marijuana was decriminalized for medical and recreational use saving the taxpayers millions of dollars in fess on legal system and generating jobs at the same time. The marijuana industry was one of few departments in State Government to show a profit. Fees were reduced because the program generated too much money at one time.
From now until 8pm on November 3rd, 2020 start from the back of your ballot first and, elect Richard Clement and Sherry Gay-Dagnogo to the Detroit School Board. If I am elected this will be my platform.
- Teacher safety and health care needs to protect them from Covid 19 and, the effects of PTSD by renegotiating contracts to allow for treating symptoms with cannabis.
- De-emphasize test scores as a primary determination for allocating funds.
- Increased funding of programs such as music, sports and, special education development.
- Promote opportunities for jobs in aviation education with Benjamin O. Davis High
- Promote the use of urban farming in and make science fun again with parental supervision to grow food, medicine and, materials like concrete with hemp.
