[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have questions about Board of Education and I went back to a thread I thought it was live but it seems to be deleted. Can I ask those here too?

Grace Rivera Oven v. Esther Wells

Rivera Oven has and has not participated or replied to many of the newspaper and media requests for interviews versus Wells who has. Does anyone have any insight to why this? To me it appears like Rivera Oven seems disinterested in the election or this believes she’s the front runner who doesn’t need to try.

I get that impression too.  I voted for her in the primary.    I will be voting for Esther Wells in the general.  I know everyone says she's anti LGBTQ+, but I think it's more she doesn't center and elevate LGBTQ+ issues.   I want someone with fiscal knowledge to provide some actual oversight to MCPS' wheelings and dealings.  [/quote]

It seems like BOE candidates tend to focus on issues like fiscal concerns, diversity issues, zoning, etc. - Have any candidates specifically focused on academics?[/quote]

Valerie Coll.   Although I don't think she's done a great job campaigning.  I have been to several small meet and greets with her, and she is all about the academics.  But that message really isn't getting out there. [/quote]

+1.  I like her too.  One of the few local races that isn’t already predetermined.  [/quote]

+2. I think she would bring a very valuable perspective to the board.[/quote]
