Taking a page from the Chicago politics "pay to play" book incumbent Steve Corona and the rest of the new board members spent what they though it would take to keep the "Blues" off the board. Corona spent five times what he did last time to continue his long oversight of the system's decline. Those who backed the new members invested heavily in the failing status quo, including the contractors who make their money from FWCS and the taxpayers.
With the exception of Kevin Brown, no-one on this board has a clue to what's going on in the classrooms and what it will take to turn things around. They will believe what they are told by an administration that thinks the path to educational excellence is social promotion and "buildings like Aboite".
The irony that sweetens the grapes is that they spent way more than they needed to. They were all the first names on their respective ballots, which is the main criterion for most voters in a city election. If Diane Sliger had changed her last name to Armstrong, she would now be on the board. And Corona supposedly still owes himself $8500. Let's see, where the hell did I put my checkbook?

Coronas's one mailer was a joke. It featured Phil GiaQuinta and Tim Pape. Does Phil GiaQuinta have any children? Tim Pape does and they sure don't go to FWCS.
Phil has no kids. Pape's go to parochial school. Mark G. sent his last three to Canterbury HS and Corona sent two of his to Luers. But having control of the board doesn't have any relationship to improving education. It's about steering projects to businesses that support your campaign.
Nepotism, cronyism, favoritism. Yes, you can say there is a " Chicago Style" of stench surrounding Wayne Township. You have Rick Stevenson pulling his PR scam at Centlivre Apts. You have Mark (Boss Hogg) Giaquinta and Tony (I want to be an Old Mill Road Democrat, not a Hunger Hill Democrat), going after Maria Parra for requesting the financial data for Wayne Twnshp.. You have Kevin Knuth for being Mark Giaquinta's flunky. You have Phil (Huey Hogg) Giaquinta trying to get the city's hands on the Allen County Food and Beverage Tax. You have the Giaquinta's cousin Pete Kelly and his wife Pat Roller pulling down over $220,000.00 from the Ft.Wayne taxpayers. Good thing that Ben Giaquinta's other children have jobs and don't need to live off the taxpayers. You have Tracy Warner and the JG flunkies for always going after Kevin Brown. Why doesn't Mark Giaquinta like Kevin Brown? Does Mark really need all these boot- lickers.

Code Blue -
I have the sweetest elementary student who is struggling in her current grade level placement (can barely read at the 3rd grade level and complete basic math facts). I only have 30 hours, under contract, to get this young lady up to speed! The fact that her parents have worked hard and moved here from another country to ensure their children have a better life, and has a poor quality of education in the classroom - disgusts me! The parents have stated that they WANTED to have the child held back, so they could have a chance to acquire the skills. The prinicpal at this school told the parents' that the school would not hold back their daughter. Luckily the child's parents are wanting a middle school in walking distance -hum, there is a charter school with a middle school option for next year.
Your article has been very nice and informative for the students.
Thanks..
