Endorsement interviews: Shamman Walton for School Board

Shamann Walton, who runs a youth development program, told us what most candidates tell us -- that the schools don't have enough money. But he's also suggesting solutions, ones that don't require the kind of dramatic change in Sacramento that is years away. He talks about leverage federal vocational training funds, about pushing to get more General Fund money for the San Francisco schools, about demanding that developers set aside some money for public education. Walter has plenty of experience in education -- he taught at a public school in Solano County, worked with at-risk kids and has helped the SFUSD with support and transition programs.

Walton said he would have voted against skipping seniority for the so-called Superintendent's Zone schools; when it comes to layoffs, he said, "you have to let the teachers and the union decide that." You can listen to the full interview after the jump.

Walton: The Seniority anti-immigrant/minority Stooge speaks

""Walton said he would have voted against skipping seniority for the so-called Superintendent's Zone schools; when it comes to layoffs, he said, "you have to let the teachers and the union decide that.""

Read: I am the Seniority Stooge. I don't support minority parents and students.

Many good leveraging points here

"We need to leverage tech companies to give middle-school students internships."

Leveraging is good.

He'll be a good city supervisor some day after a term on the school board. What district does he live in?

Family ( father waiter, mother nurse in SF, one little brother and one little sister ) moved in mid 1950'th to San Francisco. Parents divorsed...I GUESS in early 1960'th.
In ( about ) 1968 JM did graduate from a college in San Francisco in psycology!!
Thereupon JM did go to Marocco by ship and went through Europe in 1968 - 1970 as dancer.

We did meet in Middelfart, Denmark. In 1970 she danced in a ballet group for Swedish TV2 ( SVT to-day ). The programme was called Riedaiglia, with choreography by the late Alvin Ailey.
Then we lost connection...unfortunately. You MAYBE can help???
