[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Point made. I hope you are all doing the real work, as well. Have you identified a slate of alternative, electable candidates for the full school board the next election? A group of candidates that focuses on families and children first?  Have you made FOIA requests that follow the money - found out who made money off keeping the schools closed? Or are you just tilting at windmills?[/quote]
Followed the money? I can’t think of any industry that would have made money out of keeping kids out of school.[/quote]

Ha! Who signed the distance learning (software and associated hardware/infrastructure) contracts? Did they personally benefit financially? Their families? Any conflicts of interest? How about the HARD push f oh r things like ST math?

Right. No one made any money. [/quote]
Is this all speculation or has anyone actually found anything?[/quote]

Former school board members and the former superintendent made buckets of money from signing that shady Enron company green energy deal that resulted in schools losing food from refrigerators getting turned off and schools molding due to AC being shut off over the summer.  Not to mention the poor custodians having to work in blazing hot and freezing cold schools after hours.

Fcps fired the person investigating it, then they superintendent and others quit.

No one got punished for their shady corruption, except the poor lower level whistle  blowers who lost their jobs.  The school board members and superintendent got away with it and moved to greener pastures.[/quote]

I think you are missing the point. When the corruption is exposed, it paints the whole party as corrupt. Corruption that profited off choices that were harmful to the children and families of their constituents. When combined with an electable alternative, change happens.

Trying to achieve “justice” on an individual level through recalls, criminal prosecution, and public shaming may FEEL gratifying, but is not an effective long range plan.  Get the truth. Expose the truth. Have a better plan. Otherwise, you are just solidifying a base that LOVES to play the role of “victim of the right wing.”[/quote]
