[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why support an Apple Ballot that campaigns for candidates who inflate Central Office but don’t support items that would fill vacancies in schools?

These are things I would think teachers would support in candidates that haven’t been provided by past Apple Ballot candidates who are on the Board of Education: Attractive salaries to compensate for the demands of the jobs. Full time positions with benefits (especially in SPED - where the gaps in hiring spiral down to extra demand on Gen Ed teachers). Respect and a fair process when sexual harassment and bullying are reported. Ability to advocate for students at 504/IEP meetings. Ability to speak up when we see problems in MCPS without fear of retaliation by administrators. [/quote]

Why do you assume teachers support the apple ballot candidates? Just because the union puts it together? The average teacher has no pull with who goes on the ballot and most don’t know who is on it until it’s handed out. Most educate themselves about the candidates and make their own decisions. To assume everyone follows the apple ballot blindly is a mistake.[/quote]
