Any questions you want asked at Tuesday's meeting in Hollywood with Broward School Board members Ann Murray and Jennifer Gottlieb?

I'm already receiving unsolicited questions from readers all over South Florida about my blog post yesterday about next Tuesday's 7 p.m. public meeting of the Hollywood Democratic Club, featuring Broward School Board members attempting to defend their dismal record of achievement.

Many of the queries are interesting, many quite sarcastic and some can only be characterized accurately as downright 'chin music' fastballs, to back the School Board members off the plate -and their high horse- and remind them of their relative position on the political food pyramid: NOT at the top!

I thought that since this was the case, I should let you all know and mention that if you want to suggest some questions of your own, I'll run a few on my blog on Monday, the day before the meeting.

Depending upon how much time I have, perhaps, I'll even be able to print some of them out and distribute them to the public at the meeting so everyone there can benefit from the penetrating questions.

I won't note who suggested which question(s), so you'll remain completely anonymous.


Before they swing by the Hollywood Community Center and meet the public and REALITY Tuesday night, the Broward School Board will talk ETHICS.

Hmm-m...

What can possibly go wrong there?

And, next Thursday, the candidates for the Broward School's General Counsel position will... well, just check my blog on Friday morning for that information, which, oddly, doesn't seem to be on the School Board's website.
No matter -I'll have the info.

Broward School Board members will try to defend their record next Tuesday at DEM mtg. in Hollywood. Board v. Reality? Reality wins in a knockout!

Published in Miami Herald on 2/6/2011

The Hollywood Democratic Club will be hosting some Broward School Board members next Tuesday the 22nd at the Hollywood Cultural Center at 1301 S. Ocean Drive at 7 p.m. Their stated agenda is to "speak on the status of the Broward School Board."

Status?
Lower-than-low, bluer-than-blue?

Based on what I can tell from conversations I have had with well-informed people throughout Broward, folks who know who all the players are, plus, the occasional indignant email I receive from blog readers complaining about the Miami Herald and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel STILL ignoring far too many prospective School Board stories, or ignoring ones broken by others with no follow-up by them, like the rather famous Jennifer Gottlieb story by The NewTimes' Bob Norman I've referred to here previously,
http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/search/index?keywords=Jennifer+Gottlieb&x=0&y=0 I'd have to say the community's clear answer regarding status is "being driven into the ground."


Or, after last year's Keystone Kops antics and blame-shifting during the
Marko Chronicles, if you prefer, "laughing-stock."


Oh the hijinks and rolled eyes that will ensue at the Q&A!

I wonder which of our 'favorites' will be in attendance?
