[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do groups other than the NAACP expect to get a seat at the table, or just them? [/quote]

There was adequate opportunity for all interested persons and groups to provide input on the selection search process.  How you elected to or not to participate is your choice.

[b]So then the NAACP was one of many groups and individuals that was privy to the same information and had the same access[/b]? [/quote]

Absolutely. And you know who had really good access to this timeline & information??? School board members, including Karen Keys Gamara. If she thought the process was rushed or didn’t include enough input from different groups, why did she wait until the night of the confirmation to say something???

Keys Gamarra needed to put on a show about how important was to listen to members of the community, which was ironic given the number of other times she’s paid no attention to what parents and community members had to say.  If your “community” is the Fairfax NAACP and Pride Liberation, she is all ears; otherwise, forget about her taking any interest in your concerns. [/quote]
