Via Stace, here are the six finalists to succeed HCDE Trustee Jim Henley, who is resigning his position as of when a replacement is chosen:
- Davetta Daniels, who ran for HISD Trustee against Paula Harris in 2007 and 2011
- Sue Deigaard, who has been active in matters relating to public education funding
- Louis Evans, UH-D Executive Director, Distance Learning and former HCDE Board member in Position 4, Precinct 3
- Rey Guerra, engineer, community activist, and guest blogger
- Traci Jensen, 2012 candidate for SBOE 6
- Mubeen Khumawala, a former teacher at YES Prep who is now a project analyst for Deloitte
I know Sue, Rey, and Traci, and think any of them would be fine. Stace is supporting Rey Guerra; as he notes, the current Board lacks Latino representation. According to the Board Vacancy FAQ, the successor will be chosen at the next HCDE Board meeting on May 21. If you have a preference, you might want to contact your precinct Board member and the two remaining At Large members (Diane Trautman and Debby Kerner) and let them know.
Davetta Daniels will get it.joshua ben bullard
