[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That would be better than school board. I wouldn't vote for him but at least it's a relevant position for him to hold. As someone who's not a parent of a kid at FCPS and never has been, nor will be soon, his views on the School Board should be irrelevant. It's a travesty that someone w/ no direct connection or experience to the schools is taking up his seat (no, his spouse being a teacher does NOT count). [/quote]

On the other hand, having a school board member be a parent or soon-to-be parent of a child in FCPS isn't necessarily any better. Their votes would be biased to favor their child's school and pyramid. I actually prefer having candidates with interest in helping the wider community without skin in the game. At least I find it easier to believe their votes would be far more neutral.[/quote]

You are literally voting for someone to represent your area on the school board. Of course you should vote and work in the interest of those you represent. [/quote]

PP was likely referring to people like Elaine Tholen, who promised to represent all the people in her district but turned out to be a lying hypocrite who only looks after the interests of her Great Falls neighbors.  Kathy Smith was the same type of self-serving disgrace (her main achievement in years on the School Board was to to make sure the poorest neighborhood zoned to her neighborhood elementary school, Cub Run, got reassigned to a different school).  Frisch is cut from the same cloth - a total hack without a college degree who has been a disaster as a School Board member.  [/quote]
