MNEA-PACE recommends school board candidates
The Metropolitan
Nashville Education Association Political Action committee for Education
(MNEA-PACE) recently met with candidates in School Board Districts 2, 6, and
9. The MNEA-PACE is recommending the following candidates to
Nashville's teachers because of their commitment to children and the
classroom:
District 2: Joann
Brannon. Dr.
Brannon is a retired Metro teacher/administrator who has proven herself as a
true instructional leader. MNEA president Erick Huth refers to Brannon
as "a friend to teachers and students, who makes all of her decisions
based on what's best for instruction."
District 6: Cheryl D.
Mayes. Ms. Mayes, a parent leader in the Antioch
area, is a new-comer to the Board
of education who is unopposed in her bid for the District 6 seat. Huth
says, "Mayes really impressed our committee with knowledge of the issues
facing our schools."
District 9: Kay S.
Simmons. Ms. Simmons, former Executive Director of the Nashville
Alliance for Public Education, is no stranger to Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. Simmons,
who was elected on an interim basis by the Metro Council, displayed a deep
sense of caring for students and teachers alike.
The Metropolitan Nashville Education Association is the union
representing over Nashville's teachers and other professional employees of Metropolitan Nashville Public
School. MNEA's mission is to promote excellence in Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools, seek community
support for public education, secure economic and professional security for
educators, maintain a strong united teaching organization, advance human and civil rights in education, and empower
teachers!
MNEA-PACE is the
political, lobbying arm of Nashville's teachers. Its mission is to elect
candidates to local public office within Metropolitan Nashville and
Davidson County who are supportive of public school teachers, students, and
public education in general. Membership in MNEA-PACE is achieved by
making the minimum contribution to MNEA-PACE. The governing council of
the PACE is comprised of teachers elected from across the school district.
