Coles announces candidacy for Selma City School Board District 4
Published Tuesday, October 13, 2009
SELMA — Frances Coles has announced her candidacy for the Selma City School Board seat in District 4 in the Oct. 27 election.
Coles is a Selma native. She is a consumer of the school system with grandchildren enrolled in the schools.
Coles said she understands education from all perspectives.
An educator, Coles said she has taught in public and private schools.
She has a bachelor’s in elementary education with a history minor.
Coles worked at Fritsche Middle School in Milwaukee as a substitute assistant principal, while holding down a staff position as computer lab resource teacher.
Before returning to education she worked with the Network 13 Coordinating Council for End-Stage Renal Disease Inc. While there, she pursued a master’s in health care administration from Cardinal Stritch College.
Since returning to her hometown in September 1990, Coles has worked as a substitute teacher in Dallas County Schools . She is also a volunteer on many community projects.
Cole believes the Selma City School Board needs fresh faces with new ideas and talents to heal divisions.
“The community must learn to work together in earnest and in good faith, regardless of one’s ethnicity,” she said.
Coles said motivated and innovative educators eventually lost their hope because they didn’t get the support they deserved.
“We must develop the holistic approach to teaching to reach our future leaders,” she said. “All people must be treated with respect and valued in our schools and/or community.”
Coles has two children. One graduated from the system and another attended but finished in the county system.

Ms.Coles is a hardline Perkins supporter. Even to the point of bragging on Viewpoint that she rented a house in Selma so she could vote for him. Watch out!

HAHAHA. One of the biggest laughing stocks in Selma. This is the same person on air that made this comment about swine flu, "I'm not going to eat at that Mexican restaurant with all this swine flu going around".
So in other words, she is discriminating against and stereotyping "ALL" Mexican-American people to be infected with swine flu. What foul logic, ignorance and pathetic reasoning. And that is only the tip of the iceburg...........

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if her "leader" put her up to running. I'm trying to understand what credentials, skills, competence, reasoning, logic and experience she's bringing to the table? I have to agree, listening to the daily conversation on air I would be led to believe there is some instability there. I would sure hate to see the Selma City School's get involved with anymore "self agenda" types. I think we have enough of those already "trying" to be politicians, talk show host, etc.

HAHAHA. Imagine that. I bet she's part of the SCLC, Black Panthers and the democratic party all at once too, huh?!? Considering the "panthers" were out guarding the precincts for Obama voters for some strange reason, I would not be shocked.

Just what we need, but a racist like Frances Coles on the school board. Lord help us. I guess she needs the money or she wants to make sure this school system NEVER becomes integrated again. LORD help us!
