BREAKING NEWS:  WOODY ENDORSED BY THE TIMES-PICAYUNE

The T-P joins Gambit and the Louisiana Weekly and a huge group of good government supporters to endorse Woody.

The Orleans Parish School Board is at a crossroads.  In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the system faces unprecedented financial, budgetary and policy challenges.

In addition to New Orleans’ three major newspapers, Woody is endorsed by the Alliance for Good Government, the Regular Democratic Party, Mid-City Democrats, the Greater New Orleans Republicans, the Orleans Parish Republican Executive Committee, the Forum for Equality, State Representatives Walker Hines and Neil Abramson, Assessor Henry Heaton, Uptown watchdog and Councilwoman Shelly Midura and former Councilman Scott Shea.

All of these leaders agree we need the responsible, honest leadership of Woody Koppel to help build a new education system that demands excellence and accountability.  Our children deserve it.

Woody Koppel believes in the power of education to transform lives.  As a former teacher who taught hundreds of students to read, he knows the challenges and the opportunities our system faces.  As a successful businessman, he knows the critical importance of imposing fiscal responsibility and accountability on the system.  We need strong, innovative leadership on the School Board.

The next four years will dictate the future of public education in New Orleans.  Unite in the fight for good government and accountability on the Orleans Parish School Board.
