[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my biggest reasons for voting for Turner is how accessible she has made herself during this campaign.  She has done so many "coffee with the candidate" events during this campaign (outdoors, with masks) so people can ask her questions directly and hear her views.  She has done so even though she knows not everyone is a supporter, and that she could be opening herself up to some pretty unpleasant encounters (I personally witnessed her handle one with a lot of grace, kindness and empathy).  One of my biggest issues with the school board for a while has been how difficult it seems to be to interact with them directly.  The rotation of open office hours mean there are very limited opportunities to talk to a specific board member directly, and they tend to be unresponsive to emails.  I am hopeful that Turner would bring a new spirit of openness and accessibility to the board.

Also, she and I overlapped at law school, and I remember she being really smart and sharp.  I think she would bring strong critical thinking skills to the board. [/quote]

I don’t think this is true. I have talked to Tania Talento while grocery shopping, and Dave Priddy while attending kids’ sporting events (basketball, soccer, and baseball). It’s not like they are effete members of an aristocracy, but it’s been a farking Pandemic! Also, have interacted with SB members at our PTA meetings, and other committees I volunteer on. Maybe it’s you who isn’t accessible.[/quote]
