Berkeley Daily Planet endorses Priscilla Myrick for School Board (click here for more):

“After giving a lot of thought, we’ve decided to… endorse Priscilla Myrick. Myrick seems to be unusually fiscally literate and detail-oriented, which are skills school boards seem to lack. Just loving kids and supporting diversity aren’t enough any more–numbers count too.”
–Becky O’Malley, Editorial, Berkeley Daily Planet, Oct. 19, 2010

“I’ve worked with Priscilla on an education project and have been impressed by her combination of ‘big picture’ thinking and sensitivity to how decisions make a difference to real people in the real world. She asked detailed questions in a respectful way, and added true value to our education project. I believe Priscilla would bring those qualities to the Berkeley School Board - big picture thinking, thoughtful questioning, and respectful interaction.” — Ellen Wheeler, Vice President, Board of Trustees, Mountain View Whisman School District

“Priscilla Myrick played a critical role in saving AP science labs from being cut. Priscilla cares about all students and has the skills to make sure scarce funds serve students best.” — Mardi Mertens, Berkeley High School science teacher
