[quote=Anonymous]It's unfortunate that Meagan Alderton is running unopposed while there are 7 candidates running in district B for three seats (no incumbents are running) and 5 candidates running in district B for three seats (two incumbents, Jacinta Greene and Michelle Rief are running). Most Alexandrians don't understand that there are districts for school board. Honestly, I don't get it other than to represent an area. But maybe instead of having huge areas like B, which is from the east side to the west side, we have representation for the entire city. I know that means the west side might not have as much representation but honestly there are a lot of west side candidates in B this year. Lots of good candidates in A and B who won't get elected. I think all the candidates in B either have kids in ACPS or kids graduated. In A, it's pretty similar except for one candidate who is single and does not have children. Meanwhile in C you have Alderton as chair whose kids have never gone to ACPS schools. I hope she is NOT elected chair. At least there is Abdel Elnoubi in C. He is an ACPS parent and former Tucker PTA president. I've heard good things about him and he seems to value public education and stick up for those students and families whose voices might not always been heard. [/quote]
