Yes so helpful. Whoever wrote the Diaz section thank you. I felt the same. Curriculum I dislike how she rambles and is all over the place. |

You're picking the Apple ballot! It's hard to go wrong if you vote with the Apple ballot. |

What is interesting is the programs the current BOE cut were the pre-k expansion, an autism program, a trade school program and the MVA, all programs that directly impact students. There is zero transparency or accountability on how the money is spent which is a huge red flag. Harris is nasty and self-serving. She hasn't done much positive since she got on the board. Evans might be ok but she will not stand up for what she believes in and goes along with the group. Zimmerman is the very clear winner here. Diaz has too many red flags. |

She will not anwser basic questions and her anwsers are quotes from history that have no relevance. She will not discuss her employment history, if her preschool program she runs is even licensed and legal, etc. One of her kids is homeschooled too. |

Harris is so out of touch. The way she demeaned the muslim student was entirely inappropriate and unbecoming of an elected official. And calling the students her "spirit guides" just shows you how insensitive she is to students color. Further, she thinks that there is only a "perception" of fiscal management in MCPS. She owns the electronic school bus debacle and was seen on video enthusiastically supporting the Biedelmen promotion when she obviously didn't conduct any due diligence. She has horrible fiscal management instincts and any suggestion to the contrary is a delusion |

So, you trust Montoya, who has never touched a public budget in her life? This Rita Montoya: A teacher who has worked at North Chevy Chase Elementary School for many years told me that Montoya, when she was NCC’s PTA President in 2023-2024, bullied teachers and abused her position in the PTA. “ … she bullied a first year teacher to the point of tears during parent - teacher conferences. That young woman has since left teaching all together. She tried to get the much beloved interim principal, Matt Johnson, fired. Matt used to be the principal at Eastern MS. She blocked him from attending PTA meetings, and she bounced parents she didn’t like from the PTA Zoom mtgs. She couldn’t fill five of the ten PTA board positions b/c so few wanted to work with her. There were no cultural arts programs last year. She flouted the PTA bylaws and refused to resign her position as NCC PTA prez when she decided to run for BoE. The Culture & Heritage (formerly known as International Night) was a hot mess. She wasn’t happy with what the teachers organized for the 2023 event, so she decided to take command of the 2024 event. She ended up using every single activity that the teachers used in 2023.” When she found out that the NCC community was upset over her handling of the Culture and Heritage Night, she got her husband to submit a Maryland Public Information Act request for all emails from NCC staff that mentioned the event as an intimidation tactic. The teacher also said "The MCEA building reps for NCCES chose not to bring forward a motion to ask MCEA to rescind their Apple Ballot endorsement of Montoya. They are too scared of retribution. It's really sad. I worked at this school for 25 years. These are good people. They do not deserve to be treated this way by anyone, much less a candidate for BoEducation." I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to vote for someone who treated teachers in her kids’ school like that. |

Same for me and I feel like Diaz same was so disgusting to her co workers and administration. I won’t vote for Diaz either. |

I never said I was Montoya supporter; just noting Harris' shortcomings. Sounds like you have a personal ax to grind with unsubstantiated allegations. |

Sounds like an anti-hispanic bias. I bet you're also not voting for Shebra Evans. |

Yup. Harris is smart, but she's not humble and she can't admit her flaws or mistakes. |

Spot on for a Lynne Harris supporter given Lynne's previous gig in ensuring that people got deported (by pushing back on immigration appeals). She'll claim that she was just doing her job and following orders working for DOJ. I heard that one before at certain trials in Nuremberg. She always had the option of seeking employment elsewhere. |

No the only one who wants people deported is Diaz that’s right. She supports Stephen Miller Mr Deportation himself. Yes fact she does support Miller and his horrifying ideas. |

| Brenda Diaz does not support the Hispanic community. Her social media has her supporting RFK Jr and white’s only ideology. |
