[quote=Anonymous]Someone recently said something that really stuck with me. It seems like the school board lacks real oversight over Reid. She is extremely seasoned and knows how to play the game, while many on the board are just using their roles as stepping stones into broader political ambitions. They are more focused on posturing for constituents than actually doing the work of governance.

It is wild that Moon and Sizemore are running for the same seat, and Frisch is still sitting on the board after losing a VA House of delegates race (https://www.washingtonblade.com/2022/10/10/gay-school-board-member-loses-race-for-va-house-of-delegates/). It gives the impression that very few of them are truly invested. They just default to trusting Reid like she is infallible, and she knows how to exploit that.

The deeper issue, though, is with the voters. Too many people cast ballots strictly along party lines, blue or red, without actually researching who these candidates are or what they stand for. If you do not do the homework, this is what you end up with. Performative leadership and political climbers pretending to care about schools.

No offense, but people need to wake up. Until voters start holding candidates accountable and choosing competence over affiliation, we are going to keep getting the same dysfunction, repackaged every cycle as representation.[/quote]
