FBISD Employee Union Endorses Pinnock, Broxson In Board Race
by Bob Dunn, Apr 13, 2007

Fort Bend Independent School District Board candidates Bob Broxson and Noel Pinnock won endorsements Friday from the Fort Bend Employee Federation.

The endorsements came less than 24 hours after the 1,500-member arm of the American Federation of Teachers labor union held a public forum for FBISD board candidates.

Pinnock, a Missouri City educator with the Houston Independent School District, is running against incumbent Position 7 board Trustee Ken Bryant and challengers David Reitz and Ann Hopkins.

Broxson, a consultant, is running for board Position 3 against incumbent Trustee Lisa Rickert.

The employee federation, which says it represents about one of every five employees, and about one in four teachers at FBISD, did not issue a statement elaborating on the endorsements. The board election will be held May 12. . . (click title link for more).
