Thank you and Please Vote May 1

Martin Levine Candidate for DC Board of Education - Wards 3 and 4
Special Election. May 1, 2007

I want to thank all my Ward 3 and 4 neighbors for the opportunity to
share with you over the past three months my views for improving our
city's public schools -- as part of my campaign to fill a vacancy on
the DC Board of Education in the May 1 special election.

I've described the background I would bring to the Board of Education
and my thoughts about how the board can help bring meaningful change
to DC's public education system – by creating a policy-making process
that combines policy expertise with citizens' views; by advocating
for parents and ensuring that their concerns are acted on promptly;
and by developing partnerships to bring mentors, tutors, and
curriculum enrichment to every Ward 3 and 4 school.

Now the privilege is yours, as voters – to make the choice as to who
will best serve our city's interests on the soon-to-be reconstituted
Board of Education. I ask for your support. And I ask that whoever
is your choice for School Board, please vote May 1.

Thank you.
