I want to extend a semi-official welcome to Linda Lyon who recently began blogging about education at my old stomping grounds, Blog for Arizona. Her latest post looks at Ducey’s State of the State Address from an education standpoint. Good, thorough stuff, mixing, like most of her posts, lots of facts and information with thoughtful analysis.
Linda, who I’ve known for a few years, comes to education from a different place than I do. She’s a retired Air Force Colonel. She has served as the director of Wingspan and helped organize four of their charity golf tournaments. She serves on the Oracle School District Governing Board and is very involved in the Arizona School Boards Association.
You can look over her backlog of blog posts here or check in at Blog for Arizona now and then, where there’s always plenty going on.

Another Donkey.
What a surprise.
Linda is a great person.
Then you have Ducey. Takes away millions from education. And gives back crumbs. And then claims this is a great accomplishment. His budget proposal is criminal.
As a nation we are 20T in debt. That is criminal. It is time to reduce spending. Let Individual donors and corporations step forward.
Maybe reduce the world’s largest defense budget. But this has nothing to do with funding the school door the street or the kids next door. Another off topic, non sequitur.
The war on poverty has wasted 10 times all the defense budgets in history. Convenient whipping boy but inaccurate.
Just what we need, another education blogger.
I’ve been coming across Linda’s articles for the past few weeks. Great, thoughtful writing! We need more like it. =)
Needed or not, I wish for a change in education/brain connectivity.
