[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't we get some "normal" candidates who don't aspire to higher office? I feel like my baseline is so low: [b]believes schools should be open [/b]and doesn't mock the disabled.[/quote]

The schools have been open a long time now.  There were varying views at the time on how to handle the pandemic and anyone who expressed that there was certainty was wrong.

I don't think issues around opening or not are relevant now.  I want to know how the SB will help handle the teacher and principal shortage, ensure that teaching candidates hired through alternative means have the kinds of support that will make them excellent teachers (maybe partnering with GMU rather than just having all internal support?), ensure strong equitable education across the schools, resist calls to ban books/teach history but also honor the diverse parent perspectives that make up this school district through workable solutions.

Sounds like equity is important to you until it isn't - no mention of the learning losses over the past two years or how they have impacted different groups differently, or the huge disparities in buildings and facilities that the current School Board both tolerates and perpetuates. [/quote]
