Board’s pick: Ronald Lee
Sorry for the sparse posting the last 48 hours. Yesterday the Dayton Board of Education picked GM retiree and city volunteer Ronald Lee to replace Gail Littlejohn on the board.
This means board members said “thanks, but no thanks” to the DDN editorial board’s suggestion that it pick David Bohardt, a former mayoral candidate. The editorial board said Bohardt had the right kind of experience and creative ideas to be a real asset to the board, even if he might not always be in step with the current majority’s thinking.
Board members said last night that Lee’s personality was a better fit for the board.
“”We’re not looking for a rubber stamp, which I don’t think Ron will be at all, but someone who will work with the board to reach consensus and support the positions of the board,” board President Yvonne Isaacs said.
What do you think of the board’s choice?
