[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone remember Ramee Gentry's comments about parents during redistricting?  She said that parents who are vocal and well organized should have their opinions discounted.  She was elected Chair the next year.

That's what they all still think.  I could stomach it if I thought any of them actually cared about parents and students who aren't vocal or well organized.

[b]Nolan's weird facebook rant was next level [/b]though because they ALL know that this year was a massive screw up and now they are on the defensive on all issues.  The question is. who will be the scapegoat? Hutchings? Anderson who is likely retiring anyway and was Chair for most of the time? Likely they will somehow try to blame parents (and teachers and school administrators).

It will be interesting to watch.  [/quote]

She lost credibility with me in the last election.

"A major contribution to a School Board candidate’s campaign became known to the public three years late.

On Sept. 17 of this year, Veronica Nolan, a School Board incumbent who’s seeking reelection, filed an amendment to her campaign finance report covering Oct. 1-22, 2015. The amendment added a $27,000 contribution from Leadership for Educational Equity, a nonprofit, on Oct. 22, 2015.

This contribution carried forward to the present, accounting for half of Nolan’s most recently reported campaign fund balance of just over $54,000.

Nolan made an electronic entry in the state’s online reporting program on Nov. 22, 2015 for the full amount. She thought this sufficed for public disclosure."

I thought 501C4s and 501C3s couldn't give money to political campaigns.  That's also a huge amount of money for an Alexandria school board election.  At the very least it's very shady.  [/quote]

And $27,000? Aren't there campaign contribution limits? Beyond the c3 or c4 contributing to a political campaign issue.  [/quote]

It looks like that organization offers fellowships so I wonder if she got some funding through them and then was counseled after the fact to report it as a campaign contribution to be on the safe side?[/quote]
