Questions:

1. List the top three priorities of the position you seek and how you will go about addressing them.
1. Give corporations the boot. This can only be accomplished by educating and rallying the public. 2. Take a stand against President Bush. Various communities have refused to support the misnamed Patriot Act. Seattle should similarly snub the No Child Left Behind Act. 3. Purge the administration.

2. Name two or three specific steps the school district must take to regain public trust after the $35-million financial crisis.
The Seattle School District can never regain the public's trust; the incompetence, arrogance and corruption are simply too pervasive and extreme; many taxpayers think it's hopeless. The only thing that could regain the public's trust is regime change.
