Deana McKelvie and Katie Wessling will be hosting a meet-n-greet for Peter Downs, candidate for St. Louis School Board, at Mount Tabor United Church of Christ.
Downs is the founder and editor of St. Louis Schools Watch (whose blog PUB DEF hosts) and is making a third run for a seat on the school board after narrowly losing last year. He also ran in 2003. [Editor's Note: Downs ran on the same slate as PUB DEF editor Antonio French]
From their e-vite: "Peter is a parent of children in this district and has been devoted to making positive changes for many years. As parents, we are excited about Peter Downs and the voice he would give us on the board. But don't take our word for it, come meet him and see why parents across the City are offering support--both financially and vocally--to his campaign."
In today's edition of the Post-Dispatch, Steve Giegerich reports that Superintendent Creg Williams voiced his displeasure with Parent Assembly president Dorris Walker-McGahee for publicly endorsing Downs and Donna Jones, another candidate.
The event is February 11, at 10 am, at 6520 Arsenal Street.
