focus group

This crossed the Salemtown e-mail list this morning:

To the members of the Community Task Force on Student Assignment, the School Board, the Mayor's Office, and Metro Council:

I attended the 'focus' group at the MNPS Board Room hosted by headhunters Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates, Ltd. Their Joan Levy, John Simpson and Doyle Valdez were there to hear comments from former board members and current Board candidates. I was surprised at how few showed up. I was disappointed to see only five former Board members and only three candidates attend.

Former Metro school board member Kay Brooks has been invited by Hazard, Young, Attea & Assoc. find the new superintendent of schools.

During the March 5 edition of Fox News’ Fox & Friends, while discussing the electability of Sen. Hillary Clinton with a focus group of young voters at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, pollster Frank Luntz claimed that “Hillary Clinton would not be the first female president. Jimmy Carter was the first female president.”
