CEP is an outfit based in Tennessee that handles HISD’s alternative schools. My pal Mary Almendarez, a couple of local LULAC chapters, and some Latino education activists claim CEP/HISD is nothing but a dropout mill. They want CEP out of HISD.

Other than a couple or so HISD board trustees, I can’t find anyone in town that supports CEP.

It looks like the campaigns are acting like the current weather – very messy. According to today’s Chron, Ned Holmes wrote a check to Hootsie. Bob Perry wrote a check to the police union – HPOU.
