Dept. of Dubious Metaphors

Alan Coverstone, a candidate for Metro school board in District 9, is a promising contender for the seat being vacated by retiring board chair Marsha Warden. Coverstone is a thoughtful progressive whose campaign is off to an energetic start with lots of fundraising appeals and email blasts. The one sent today, however, did seem to incorporate an unfortunate turn of phrase in the subject line.

I think the biggest asset to Coverstone's school board campaign is the moral authority he derives from his comfortable perch as Dean of Students at Montgomery Bell Academy.

bb said:

Arguably more important than his own occupational perch is the fact that (unlike some elected officials past and present in this town) his own kids attend public schools, and he's been an active and involved public school parent.

LOL. I had to read that one twice.

There must be something going around. This protest sign was spotted recently in Houston, Texas ....

Coverstone is very impressive, and he's really hit the ground running strong- getting a wide range of support from the district.

Comfortable perch? I suspect the clientelle at MBA is a pretty demanding bunch in many regards.

His oldest will be attending private for 5th grade.

runsatthepool,

Where did you get that info? Do you know what school his oldest will attend? Has Coverstone offered any insight into that decision?

runsatthepool said:

Going to USN because they didn't make the lottery and they're zoned for HG Hill. I think we all know the insight.

parent said:

Coverstone seems to be getting a lot of press coverage. What can anyone tell me about Lee Limbird? Does she have a website up?

parent said:

I tried to post this but I think it didn't come through - sorry if this ends up appearing twice.

What does anyone know about Lee Limbird and her campaign? Does she have a website up?
