[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the people up for school board come knocking on my door next year, I plan to ask them these questions:

1. Do you have any children of your own and do or did they go to FCPS schools?
2. Do you have a spouse or family member that is a teacher and do they teach in FCPS schools?
3. What is your educational and employment history and how did those prepare you for a seat on the school board?
4. What are your long term girl goals/motivation for running for a seat on the school board?

Basically I am trying to weed out the Karl Frisch's of the world - no children, only looking out for his partner who is a teacher, long-term political goals, doesn't give a shit about education or children. [/quote]

I've thought about re-joining the local Democrats so I could vote for more moderate candidates during the endorsement process next year.

[b]But, apparently, they won't accept any members who've ever criticized current School Board members, so that probably rules me out,[/b] regardless of whether I align more with Democrats than Republicans on most issues.

Seems like School Board elections might be a good place for a third party like Forward to establish a presence.  Or maybe Independents will have more success next year, although it's been very hard for any candidate who isn't endorsed by a party to get elected. [/quote]

What makes you say this? [/quote]
