It appears that someone may have hired a private investigator to dig into my life. Aside from how ridiculous this is, let me just state it simply: There's nothing to find. I'm an elected official. I have to disclose a slew of information (my salary, my wife's salary, every gift I receive from non-family members, every sporting event I attend where someone else bought the tickets, what stocks and real estate I might own, etc.) I understand this, and it was part of the deal when I ran for public office. I just don't like the sliminess of someone doing this behind the scenes.
So I'll put it out there: If you want to know something about me, ask. Don't lurk in the shadows- have the courage to ask me the question directly.
About Me
- Doug Smith
- I have 1 child in the LASD schools, and 1 who has graduated and moved on to high school. After several years of active volunteer work, I got involved in the school board. In the fall of 2009, I was elected to the Board of Trustees. I am grateful for the trust the community has placed in me. I intend to continue to use this blog to share my thoughts about district matters.
I have a passion for using technology to solve problems in new ways. I draw on my experience at a subscription billing company and past tech ventures to inform new approaches to solving longstanding issues in education. It isn't always comfortable for folks, but I believe there is a lot of cross-polination that can happen.
Please remember that this blog is my personal blog, and does not reflect the opinion of the Board as a group. No statements made here can be considered an offical policy of the Board, and this does not replace actions by the Board in any way. However, I'm happy to share what I can and I look forward to hearing your thoughts too.
