[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rosalind Johnson was terrible. I liked David Murray too. I don't know how I feel about Zabrina Epps. David impressed me because he was willing to listen to others, and was willing to change his position on things when he had researched them more. Our elected board is so poor and with such bad relations with the county and superintendents, that I am willing to entertain that going back to some appointed members might not be all bad.

+1  I would actually have been in favor of Baker's original plan (it was modified before being passed).  I'm not saying Baker can solve it.  But I do think there needs to be some radical change.  And I, frankly, don't think it's going to come through the elected board.  the problem with that model is that most people vote on name recognition; it's why it's so hard to boot out incumbents.  And I feel like it's pretty clear the school board is complacent at best and dysfunctional at worst.  Not to mention, I sense that they're primarily interested in maintaining the status quo and maintaining their power.  But it is clear they are not working.

I think something pretty radical needs to happen to make them realize they need to be more responsive and that people want to see results.  [/quote]
