LIST OF ISSUES
Voter Registration
News reports are stating that Voters in OHIO may be at risk of being purged.
The U. S. Supreme Court gives its approval to Ohio's aggressive purging of voters.
Akron residents and other city residents will have a rude awakening at the polls in November, for just failing to vote in past elections and not confirming their most current addresses.
A failure to vote in Ohio will now trigger a confirmation notice to your address to confirm your resident status. If you fail to respond and have failed to vote in a previous election you could be purged of participating in an upcoming election. Please be advised.

Community Concerns
It is alleged that select local Circle K gas stations have a key entry or no bathrooms available for customers in low-income areas. Other Circle K gas stations located in certain or different zip codes do not have this issue. The bathrooms - in these areas are open and accessible without key entry. We will have an update on our inquiry with the management of these Circle K locations.

Education
I
Please review the link below as we have been concerned about the educational reform for Akron Public Schools. After speaking in detail during our meetings about possible resolutions, we have investigated one working educational reform initiative located in New York.
A reform was practiced in New York (Brooklyn) and has been successful for their reform initiatives for a few years. We have made a call to the Assistant Principal for a discussion, to gain information on how this initiative could be duplicated in Akron, OH.
We were unsuccessful to reach him before summer vacation but we plan to have a discussion by this Fall.
We were able to discover the formula for their initial success and it is as follows:
(1) Creating a personalized and orderly learning environment, (2) Assisting students who enter high school with poor academic skills, (3) Improving instructional content and practice, (4) Preparing students for the world beyond high school, and (5) Stimulating change in overstressed high schools.
We are concerned with the educational success of our youths in our communities and plan to support a reform initiative in the months to come.
