[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is a candidate who can show they don't have a conflict of interest and is not beholden to any special interest and can set up a small-donor campaign, I would be willing to donate regularly and volunteer. But such a candidate is fairly rare. Even more rare is one who is a parent of school-aged children. Such parents generally just don't have the time or wherewithal to run such a campaign.[/quote]

Abdel Elnoubi - is a parent of school-aged children and really does his best to represent the community on the school board. His campaign was funded by small donors and I am sure he would be glad to have more. [/quote]

Abdel was the handpicked successor of Ramee Gentry. He wouldn't have won without her endorsement.[/quote]

So he was actually an establishment candidate. My favorite Ramee story is when a 24 year old consultant said that the School Board should discount the opinions of vocal and organized parents...Ramee enthusiastically agreed. And then doubled down on it. Then she was elected chair a few months later by her wildly supportive School Board colleagues. Even the ones who knew about her statement and were privately horrified.

Now it makes sense why Elnoubi may talk a good game but actually strictly follows what the SB and ACPS establishment tell him to do.

So exactly how does he "represent the community" on the school board? What has he delivered? What has he said in SB meetings that represents the community? [/quote]
