Again, Dallas revisits its ethics policy. It is time to call for our trustees to do the right thing and abolish the "Jack Lowe Clause" that allows trustees to benefit financially from contracts with the district.

Call and write the board of trustees today if you want to see an ethics reform policy!

Why is it that test data labels African refugees as African Americans? Doesn't that put forth erroneous information about how African Americans are scoring?

I commend the Dallas NAACP and Betty Culbreath, former President of the DFW Airport Board and current President of the Dallas Housing Authority Board for telling it like it is as it relates to Dallas ISD Board President Jack Lowe. Is Dallas ISD trustee Carla Ranger the only person on the Dallas ISD board that has the cojones to do the right thing? If so, please come back from your long lunch break like Betty says and do the responsible thing and strenghten the Dallas ISD Board Ethics Policy, now, not months from from now to study the issue until next Christmas. And while you guys are doing that please make those hundreds of morally challenged Dallas ISD employees who 'misused' their Dallas ISD issued p-cards to pay back the taxpayers of the Dallas ISD so the district can put those 'misused' Dallas ISD tax dollars where it should have used in the first place, on the students of Dallas ISD.

Update: We are encouraging all NAACP members and the larger community to contact your DISD board member and Board President Jack Lowe by e-mail, regular mail, fax, and phone calls to let them know that the ethics policy must be placed on the agenda at the June board meeting, and they must pass it as presented by Board Member Carla Ranger. The DISD website is www.dallasisd.org and the phone # is 972-925-3700. We must not take no for answer. Check back for daily updates.
