They are being sworn in on Dec 2.

When will the new members get their committee assignments?

Probably at the Dec. 5th meeting.

Yes, and Yang and Rivera-Oven are pretty new and still getting up to speed too. Only Silvestre and Wolff will have been there more than 2 years.

Silvestere and Wolff need to go next.

+1

Would be glad to see Wolff leaving BOE.

I wonder if she'll decide not to seek reelection.

But but but they need a person of darker pigment skin color on the Board, aside from a SMOB.

Rumor has it she will not be seeking reelection, which would be wise IMO but clearly MoCo voters are fed up with incumbents.

Looks like the people have spoken. Evans, two-term incumbent, lost by a shocking 16 points.

How are we feeling about this shakeup?

This school board unanimously approved Monifa despite the teachers, principals telling them it was a bad move. Many of the incumbents on the ballot and members of the BOE approved of the disastrous regime of Jack Smith. You keep making terrible decisions and wrecking MCPS, you're going to be out. The fact that Evans and Harris were surprised they lost shows how far out of touch they really are. Good riddance and keep taking out the trash next election cycle. Got to get that robot Silvestre out.

A unanimous vote in support of McKnight doesn't mean anything but a united front to the public. Not everyone was a McKnight fan, but majority rules.

They are all scared to speak out against mcps, and vote against majority.

Doesn't have to be Wolff. New candidates should think about running.

Right, anyone is fine as long as they're owned by MCEA. Just like the three new board members.

It's time for Brenda to go. I'd be glad to see a primary full of strong candidates.

BOE members need to stop prioritizing that “united front” to the public. We did not ask for nor do we want it. It would have been helpful if BOE members voiced their disapproval or concerns about McKnight and her appointment had been debated and discussed in public.

Problem is how do you get a pipeline of strong candidates to sign up to run for a part-time job with full-time hours with garbage pay?

This is why we need a full-time BOE with an accompanying full-time salary to attract a higher quality and more diverse pool of candidates.

More likely we'll see something like this year, where the new candidates are worse than the incumbents.
