This. Everyone I've spoken to voted for Kadera, but none of us are screaming it from the rooftops like Turner's base. And I don't see anyone in my FB feed supporting her, nor have I seen any lawn signs for her near me.

I think Kadera’ wins too. I voted for Turner, as did almost everyone I know, but I also know lots of Turner supporters who said they were voting and then didn’t follow through. I think Kadera’s base probably had more people actually vote. But everyone else in my circle thinks Turner will win in a landslide. I’m not so optimistic.

If Miranda doesn't win, will her team of supporters claim election fraud?

Kadera has already claimed that.

And I don’t know a single person who voted for Mary. So, let’s call that self selection bias.

I refuse to believe that the "equitable" solution was providing less education this year. That's ridiculous. APS and the school board should be embarrassed.

No matter who wins, we need to recall the school board.

Well, that is not going to happen. Nor should it. But a tiny bit of something new and different might just be good for a county that has increasingly been stuck in a rut and turned out to be even more risk averse than anyone could have imagined.

You must be in APE. Good luck with that.

She went ahead and started questioning the integrity of the process before it even started.

OMG - will the APE trolls go back to their holes after this?

Or will they go back to bullying their nannies in the fall?

It will be close but Miranda will win. Wasn’t a supporter of hers so I hope I’m wrong

Easy win for Miranda. Greater than 60% of vote will go to her. Mary has a real base, but the vast majority of parents either: (a) wanted in-person all along/much sooner or (b) just want a change from the status quo. Nothing against, Mary. I'm sure she's earnest, nice person, etc. Miranda is a much needed change agent, however. That was always what this election was about.

All these people who have been pushing her as the outsider who will challenge the status quo, I’ve wanted to point out that’s what Trump supporters wanted in 2016 and look how that worked out. If she wins I hope to God she’s willing to put in the 30+hrs per week to get herself educated and do the job that so many of you want her to get. By January 1st, if she’s the winner she sure as heck better be a lot more informed than she is now because RTS will be so moot it isn’t funny. Hitting her billable hours as an attorney plus working that much for APS isn’t going to be a lot of fun.

The whole “how can she do the job because she’s already an attorney (and a mom!)” is getting tired.

There were negative 2 cases reported in Arlington today. How are the people who wanted 5 days/week in class the crazy ones?

Is this a dig at working parents who have nannies? You AEM folks know how to keep it classy.

True, didn’t vote for her though
