Lodi just received its worst ranking ever (292 out of 337). We cannot continue down this road.



This is unacceptable.  This is a direct result of the corruption that has taken over our Board of Education.


I take pride in this community.  I graduated from Lodi High School.  I had many good teachers and experiences there.  I am sickened by what this Board had done.


It is time that everyone in Lodi from all past political groups unite to turn this around and deliver much needed reforms.  We cannot change Lodi without changing the Board.


This 292 ranking came even after Lodi's manipulation of graduation rates and NJ Monthly's  decision to omit PARCC scores.
