[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, back to the OP's post. Who actually has the potential to get things done on the school board? We have pta presidents on the podium at the meeting asking for assistance. We have multiple forums about school safety. We have people talking about academics. Who on the school board is going to focus on education, paying teachers competitively with other districts, recruiting staff positions like crossing guards and bus drivers, as well as teachers, not being into political statements and buzz words, but really care about our community's education? I want to know who. And also, who was the person engaged in drug use. Normally I don't care about something so petty as an edible, joint or vape. But you have my HS students coming home stating that kids are vaping in class, getting high smoking pills, etc. Not a good look. I would feel the same way about public intoxication. [/quote]

I think this was answered. No one. Not one single board member. [/quote]

Since doing so would involve confronting ACPS’s administration rather than fawning over them, I agree the answer is none of them although [b]there may some actually care about these issues[/b].[/quote]

So these board members secretly care about these issues but are too scared to address them? Are they are more beholden to ACPS, Super, and other board members than their constituents?

Nah, they fawn because they agree with everything ACPS is doing. They don't care about these issues. They didn't run to actually change anything. They ran because it benefits them, their kids, their egos and because they AGREE with ACPS. And the voters are ok with that. [/quote]

So i disagree with you about some board members.  I think [b]some do care about these issues but as you put it are more beholden to ACPS and the other board members[/b] (ie they don’t want to be the squeaky wheel.  But it in the end, they are all ineffective.[/quote]

That makes them cowards. [/quote]

Sure.  To be clear, I think Rief, Baird, Booz (maybe?), Elnoubi seem to care but won’t rock the boat.

Alderton, Greene, Bailey, Ignacio, and Harris (probably) don’t care and are likely lost causes.[/quote]
