Many of you might not care, but tomorrow's the big vote. There are some highly contended council possibilities. If you know some things about any of the people in running, post it here, i'd like to know.
The only things I know are from a teacher friend of mine that told me Mike Pike sends his kids to Dowling, another one sends them to some private Baptist school, and the Narcisse guy is kind of a douche.
Discuss.

Re: Vote for Des Moines School Board Tomorrow!!
I tried looking for some real information on the candidates and of course I found one article with pretty much canned responses. Not much in the article but there is some information inside the comments with a couple of links.

Secondly, here's an article from WHO TV that has some video interviews with each of the candidates.

As far as Narcisse I've heard him on the Steve Deace show on 1040 WHO a handful of times and while he does come across as an ass it also seems like in his own way he cares about the students and the taxpayers. I probably wouldn't want a school board with members that all think like he does but if the other incumbents are going to be staying I'd say he's worth keeping around just to keep the others honest.
Actually found an anti-Narcisse website:

While you can't really trust a source thats main purpose is that it's anti-Narcisse it sounds like Narcisse is trying to load the school board with his friends. It's probably good to have one Narcisse but him running the entire school board not so much.

Re: Vote for Des Moines School Board Tomorrow!!
I dont have kids. If I did, i wouldnt send them to public schools. No Care Ever.....However, everything Ive ever seen or read about Narcisse is typical jive talk. He likes to bitch and bitch and really do nothing. Typical.
