FBN Reports On Recent FBISD Candidate Endorsements!

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).

MCC Exclusive: Pinnock Garners FBEF Endorsement, An Arm of the American Federation of Teachers!

Just in to MCC:

Noel Pinnock, one of the front runners in the position 7 FBISD school board races, has just been endorsed by the Fort Bend Employees Federation (FBEF), a wing of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the largest professional teacher associations in the country. Mr. Pinnock resides here in Missouri City and announced in March his intentions to seek a seat on the school board. He is in his second decade as an educator and has a child in FBISD schools.

Pinnock garnered the honor after his performance at the Marriott Hotel at Sugar Land Town Square. SOS, a local community watchdog website, recognized Noels strong showing in the local district races in a recent release. When asked what his three primary areas of concern are in the district Mr. Pinnock stated that "transparency in government and fiscal accountability are essential to efficient school operations and will free up tax dollars for the classroom and help alleviate over-crowding".
