Reiley said that she too would have called for an evaluation of the old curriculum sooner, and that a new curriculum must be “culturally relevant” for minorities such as LGBTQ students.
Wolff was more gentle in her critique of the old curriculum. “I’m not sure that it indicates failure. I think it indicates that it’s time to move on,” she said. Docca said she is excited about the designs for the new curriculum, particularly since ethnic authors from different parts of the world will be incorporated into lessons for English classes. “We have a chance now to put things in our curriculum that reflect our student body,” she said. “We have an extensive group of teachers and community members giving input. It will be a very transparent process.” |

| I like what Blaeuer said. But how do I find out what district I live in? |

Everybody gets to vote for one candidate in each district. The districts apply to the candidates' residency; for example, Brenda Wolff lives in BoE District 5. But you get to vote for her (you can't really vote against her, since she's running unopposed) even if you don't live in BoE District 5. Yes, it's a bit confusing. Just remember that you don't need to know what district you live in; you get to vote for one candidate in each district. |
