[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montoya, Zimmerman and Stewart all won with comfortable margins.

Looks like the people have spoken. Evans, two-term incumbent, lost by a shocking 16 points.

How are we feeling about this shakeup?

Great! Good to see people trust the Apple ballot and support our teachers.[/quote]

Voters should have prioritized supporting our students, but obviously a lot of people are happy to vote against their interests.[/quote]

As a MCPS parent my interests are around retaining my child's fantastic teachers. Without the teachers we have nothing.

MCEA (the teacher's union) is by no means perfect, but they are the institution that advocates for teacher raises each year. While you can certainly argue their efforts haven't been enough, I'm glad they have at least gotten that in contrast to other places where teacher salaries are far worse (and the longer you go without raises the harder it is for the budget to catch up).

And when I have actually read about the candidates without looking at the Apple Ballot, I've often chosen the candidates they chose (but not always). [b]Unfortunately, with few exceptions, the alternatives to the Apple Ballot are horrible IMO and I'm not willing to vote for them[/b].[/quote]

Very true.[/quote]
