[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to two forums and spoke with the candidates, and here are my thoughts: Chen - really smart, really friendly. Obviously learning a lot - the difference between my first and most recent conversation with him is large. I hope if he loses he runs again. He's the kind of thoughtful and approachable that we need for APS. Kathleen - very nice to talk to, obviously very plugged in especially for special ed. Not as polished as Chen or Zuraya but very genuine. Gave thoughtful answers to my questions. Larry - nice but awkward to talk to. He's retired and have grown kids so is able to dedicate full time to the Board. I worry though that he won't be able to effectively work with other SB or CB members. Zuraya - very friendly as well, but I was not as impressed with her answers. My earlier and more recent conversations with her were about the same -- there wasn't the growth that I saw with Chen. Overall I'm picking Chen and Kathleen because I think they'll be the most accessible and accountable, and had the best answers in the forums. However everyone that's running is awesome for doing this -- some of us were afraid that no one would run for this hard and thankless job. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. No one is perfect. I wish everyone running the absolute best and hope they continue to be involved in APS.[/quote] I haven't spoken directly with the candidates, but my impressions are similar. I'm voting Kathleen #1 and Chen #2. [/quote]
