Education and Ward 8: Eugene Kinlow

Eugene Kinlow discusses education and his bid for the DC City Council’s Ward 8 seat on the third anniversary Education Town Hall with Thomas Byrd.

“I’m a hard grader,” says Kinlow, declaring that mayoral control “fails,” while the DCPS Chancellor “passes.” He adds that DC schools have done well in updating facilities but not on improving educational opportunities for all students.

Mr. Kinlow is among the many candidates seeking to fill the Ward 8 seat left vacant when Councilmember (and former Mayor) Marion Barry died in late 2014. His own education includes a degree in business from the University of the District of Columbia, while he and his family all attended DC Public Schools.
