I was glad to see Alecia Foster's article on Greg Krikorian's run for
school board in the News-Press' Election 2001 Profile.
Why? Three reasons:
First, Krikorian has three of his own children in the Glendale public
school system. Motivation to see our kids get a great education? You bet!
Second, our present school board is mostly made up of professional
educators. With all due respect, educators have their own set of
motivations, which sometimes conflicts with what parents want for their
children. Krikorian would bring needed balance to the board's debates.
And third, he's a businessman who would bring creative solutions to
the problems every school board faces, not the least of which is the
constant financial struggle.
Krikorian's election to the school board makes great sense.
We can vote for three school board candidates. He deserves one of
those votes.
