[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty insane several of the current BOE members voted for Monifa to get her $1million+ payout and moco is about to relect them after they just voted to ax all mcps social workers. [/quote]

Rivera-Oven is running unopposed.  Maybe make the compensation attractive to the kind of individual we'd want to be there to do a better job and we'd get some candidates.

Wolff is slinking off into the sunset while her hand-picked successor is running unopposed -- see the compensation note, above...

Yang and Silvestre are running for County Council, not defending their BOE seats.  MCEA chose to endorse early for their Apple Ballot, which usually crowns a winner except where there is huge blowback against an incumbent, with McCarthy a highly involved MCCPTA'er whose skills are there to challenge but whose expressed platform is milquetoast/whose intentions are not exactly clear, and with Lazo another wishy-washy Montgomery College replacement of Silvestre who might be expected to toe the line.

Montoya, Stewart and Zimmerman weren't elected yet when the Beidelman/McKnight thing went down with the ridiculous payout and the subsequent hiring of Taylor.  They'll have to own the boundaries/programs fallout for re-election, but, again, without reasonable compensation for the time that has to be put in to the position for someone to be effective, and with the Apple Ballot's influence effectively seating those who place teachers' needs (and insider teachers, at that) over students' needs, who whom we would [i]want[/i] would bother to run?[/quote]
