by John Pape, FortBendNow

Fort Bend ISD Trustee Stan Magee following his Monday night announcement that he was not “actively seeking re-election” to his Position 1 seat. In a Tuesday interview with Fort Bend Now, Magee stressed that his announcement does not mean is no longer an active candidate, and is looking forward to continuing to serve on the school board.
On the heels of his statement at Monday night’s Fort Bend ISD board meeting that he was not “actively seeking” re-election to his Position 1 seat, Trustee Stan Magee clarified his announcement today, saying he was still an active candidate for re-election.

Magee said he had made a decision that new personal commitments in his life and commitments to his family needed to take precedence over candidate forums and debates, and that was what he meant when he said he was not “actively seeking the Position 1 re-election.” He also said that voters know where he stands on issues and how strong his commitment is to the staff and students in Fort Bend ISD schools.

“The voters know who I am and what I stand for,” Magee said Tuesday afternoon. “They understand that, as far as I’m concerned, the whole school district revolves around the students and the teachers.” . . .(get the full story at: http://www.fortbendnow.com/pages/full_story?article-Magee-Says-He-Is-Still-In-School-Board-Race%20=&page_label=home&id=57987-Magee-Says-He-Is-Still-In-School-Board-Race&widget=push&instance=home_news_lead_story&open=&)
