[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A better alternative might be to go back to a system where School Board members are appointed rather than elected.  Perhaps that way the Board of Supervisors could give some thought to appointing members who have an appropriate cross-section of expertise and aren't so controlled by the special interest groups.  95% of the current agenda is dictated by teachers' groups and the NAACP.

This is it. Elected boards have to play a political game and their decisions are always subject to partisan criticism. Appointed boards can straight up do the right thing for schools, students, and staff.

No - that's not a solution.  Ultimately, it is the citizens who are responsible for the school board -- either through direct elections, or through electing the person who "appoints" the school board.  All that would do is create another level of separation between the citizens and their school board.

The fault lies with the voters -- you are all voting for this moronic school board and its non-academic based policies.  You do it because it touches all your political buttons and it makes you feel good.  You want to vote "Democrats" onto your school board to stop Drumpf or whatever inane political reason you tell yourself.  You all get the schoolboard and the lowest common denominator school system you deserve. [/quote]
Old post, but still relevant today.
 If you care about school safety, you must vote for school board members who care about school safety as their Number One Priority. It’s that simple.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but stop with the republican propaganda. Your candidates are focused on banning books, racism, and denying children basic human rights. They don't give a CRAP about safety except as a talking point. This is Youngkin all over again. Trying to scare rich moms into voting for you will not work again.[/quote]
