Ron Taylor may have lost the battle, but he won the war. He has done a great job of laying the foundation for improved teacher advocacy here in Las Vegas. He was the first teacher in CCSD willing to take a stand for taxpayers to try and ensure that money found its way into the classrooms and did not get lost in unneccessary jobs. He was the only candidate to give the rural area of Mesquite a voice and a unique plan that was tailor-made for their community. He was the only candidate that wanted to focus on extending the high school day and putting a large focus on truancy.

Ron Taylor took a stand against CCEA to try and put retired teachers back on the state health plan. He questioned the costs of the CTE Program and tried to track where all the money went to bring down fees for teachers.

Congratulations to Ron Taylor for running a campaign with honesty and integrity and standing up for kids.

For the real truth go to http://therealrontaylor.org

Ron Taylor is the only candidate with enough knowledge and perserverance to help turn CCSD around. I don't think we need another school board that will sit around and pat each other on the back for helping to make Nevada 48th in education in the USA. And, I don't think we need another school board that accepts big, fat raises while students go without basic supplies.

Vote to improve public education. Vote for Ron Taylor.

Vote Ron Taylor for School Board District B. http://rontaylor.info. The only candidate with enough inside knowledge and conviction to make a positive change for kids.

Dr. Goldman is right about the benefits of splitting up CCSD. Smaller school districts are more manageable and can communicate better with their teachers and parents. Also, as Ron Taylor http://rontaylor.info pointed out in a previous interview, "the infra-structure to break up the school district is already there. A break up would not require more taxpayer money."
