[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think it's kind of sneaky and dishonest that Miranda has no reference to her role as a founder/leader of APE on her website. We know what you did and who you did it with. Just own it. Be honest.

APE does consider itself an APS parent advocacy group, right? Seems relevant for the SB position if she included PTA, etc. on her bio.

Sure does, that's why it's shady as heck not to include it.

She has no actual leadership experience in APS. She didn't lead a PTA or an advisory committee which is a pretty glaring absence compared to most of the past successful candidates.

She founded and led a parent group whose unhinged members screamed at school board members and said awful things about teachers and APS staff during the pandemic. That's the sum of her leadership experience as far as I can tell. And now she wants to hide that. [/quote]
I don’t feel like she’s trying to hide it, but they’ve moved on from that particular aspect. Now they are (correctly imo) focusing on the learning loss. I work for APS and was very upset by some members of APE during that time. I was afraid to return to my special education classroom before a vaccine. I was likewise turned off by the extreme handwringing of some in Smart Restart. Now, I’ve been back in the classroom for two years. I’m not holding grudges. It was a scary, unstable time and I don’t think anyone was at their best. I’m ready to listen without prejudice now. FWIW I am a member of APE’s Facebook group (muted about 7 people) and I think they are doing some good advocacy for class sizes and salaries.  [/quote]
