Harris is allowing these cuts to happen. Everyone that’s currently in office should be voted out in November.

Exactly. I voted for Harris. Seeing these appalling cuts, she will not get my vote again. I like Harris but these cuts were heartless and lazy.

The county council decided the final budget amount after being told what was on the line. Blaming Harris is off target.

Blaming Harris is exactly on target. You can't argue experience when they fumbled the budget. Throw the bums out. Anyone can be taught budgeting. It's Harris's myopic unrealistic view of the school district that contributed to this mess.

Thanks Rita, you've said that before: anyone can be taught budgeting. You won't know what hit you, if you get in.

Okay Lynne. You’ve had four years of experience and are still screwing things up. MCEA was right not to endorse you.

Looks like Rita was wrong, the current board clearly couldn't be taught budgeting

Y'all know that there's a whole central office department that does the budgeting, right?

Yes, but you have no right to be on the BOE unless you're a budget and financial expert according to some (unless of course you're a white middle aged mom who's put together the budget for the local PTA bake sale)

Well then, that clearly locks in Harris and Stewart! I'm sure they can tell us how many cupcakes it takes to balance the budget.

Board members aren't in charge of balancing the budget. That job falls to Brian Hull, Robert Reilly, Ivon Alfonso Windsor, and their staff.

You have a right to be on the BoE if you are a candidate who meets the legal requirements for qualifying to be on the ballot, and the voters elect you.

So many apologists for the current board on here. Waiting for y'all to saying it was rigged.

You Lynne apologists can't have it both ways. You can't say that experience matters and that you need to know about budgets and then literally pass the buck to someone else. This is textbook cognitive dissonance.
