[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The anti-School Board group is reporting that it won all but one of the seats on the TJ PTSA.

Fantastic - this needs to happen at other schools that have been shat upon by the School Board, and the School Board members recalled. [/quote]

Not sure how a single school PTA will show the school board anything or lead to recalls. Also, can't really call it a mandate - the vote difference - less than 30 votes and close to 50/50 for most of the races- sends more of the message that the parents are rather evenly split.   To me, the issue is about how the school will integrate the Class of 2025 and/or advocate for future changes to the new admission policy while representing all the families and supporting all the kids. [/quote]

These are not especially outstanding results for the status-quo mob, given that they literally published their "recommended slate" of candidates and ran unopposed in two races. One race had a margin of literally two votes.

Good luck next year.[/quote]

why wait, once the new class starts and parents can join, why not just vote to oust the current leadership? [/quote]

There isn't a mechanism to do that. They'll have an opportunity in this window next year.[/quote]

The PTA is just a volunteer body that take care of things like cupcakes and yearbooks. It's important for this group to represent the entire student body so there's participation from all parents for the benefit of all students.  Please leave politics out of this.[/quote]

I'd be thrilled if the people who are running the TJ PTSA would "leave politics out of it". But they don't. They send newsletters encouraging parents to write to their school boards because students are being taught lessons in social-emotional learning - something that is BEYOND desperately needed at TJ and has been for the entirety of its existence - and have a link to a PTSA-hosted webpage that solely exists for people to copy and paste the emails of all of the higher-ups to make it easier to pester them.[/quote]
