Love, Individualism, Vision and Effort were the four non-negotiable principles Clover Park School District Superintendent Ron Banner instilled in his adopted son, Zach Banner, an offensive tackle for the Pittsburg Steelers.
In an April 19, 2010 article entitled
Zach Banner – A Profile in Character, Chris Fetters wrote: “The basis of Ron’s teachings toward Zach have all been centered around character.”
A character built on how to LIVE life.
School board member Paul Wagemann wants this for every student in the district.
During a December 14, 2020 district board meeting, he expressed his concern for the 10 to 11 percent of students who do not graduate when he said the board needed to “crack the whip,” to do all it can do to help all district students earn their diplomas.
Taniesha Lyons is demanding the resignation of Paul Wagemann, member of the Clover Park School Board since 2009.
Paul Wagemann
A special meeting of the school board to address the matter has been scheduled for Monday, December 21. The meeting agenda provides the link and password to join the webinar.
Lyons ran against Wagemann in 2019 and lost 62 to 38 percent.
Now Lyons wants Wagemann gone.
In a letter to the school board this week, Lyons charges Wagemann with “blatant bigotry and racism,” calling Wagemann “an explicit racist” and “a considerable liability.”
Lyon’s charges stem from a comment Wagemann made at the December 14 meeting of the school board.
