BOE - who are people voting for?

[Anonymous]

What candidates have promised to reinstate the MVA before pet projects like the new high school at Crown? And who will keep that promise?

Those are separate budgets (operating vs. capital). A better question is who will preserve the capital budget by lobbying against Planning’s proposal to cut school impact fees by a third, thus reducing the amount of money in the already underfunded CIP.

The new high school is a "pet project"? You are delusional. Thousands of thousands of kids are dealing with severely overcrowded schools. A few dozen parents want the MVA back. The priorities are correct.

Zero candidates have promised that.

Exactly.

People who aren’t scared to teach a broad spectrum of great writers — yes, including old white men! We can add a diversity of voices while keeping writers like Hemingway, Keats, and Dickens.

The MVA community is far larger than the 800-student figure would have you believe. There was a waiting list of thousands to get in.

I would expect outreach to ramp back up in the coming weeks. There are only 6 candidates left in the race at this point:

At Large:
Lynne Harris (incumbent)
Rita Montoya

District 2:
Brenda Diaz
Natalie Zimmerman

District 4:
Shebra Evans (incumbent)
Laura Stewart

+1 vote apple ballot. Even though they’ve endorsed just about every sitting member of the BOE at some point, they’ve gotten it right this time around.

I want a BoE that looks out for students, not teachers.

Exactly. The teachers' union is often opposed to the best interest of student. MoCo voters need to wake up to this fact and vote in their own best interests.

In the at-large and district 4 races, your choices are either the incumbents or the teachers' union's endorsed candidates.

The mva could take out thousands in person. Far cheaper too.

I'll take the devil I know over another MCEA representative.
