[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS doesn't pay school board members to be full time employees, so all of them have jobs, families, and lives. This is the stupidest, most misogynistic thing I've seen on DCUM in a long time, and that's saying something.

How will a skilled professional balance her work and other obligations? The same freaking way she does every day.[/quote]

Why is it misognynistic? Who else on the board has a job as time consuming as a law firm partner? It's a legit question how much time she will commit to it, especially when she has not committed to any other big time consuming leadership roles in APS, like PTA prez or committee chair. [/quote]

I am not a Miranda fan, but I'll probably support her. Even if only for the schadenfreude of watching her APE comrades turn on her when they realize the SB really isn't that powerful and Miranda really can't do much to effect change. She will just be a thorn in the side of her colleagues that she alienated during her time with APE. She and her APE crew were extremely critical of the SB during COVID, including the various restrictions placed on SB members open hours during COVID. I think people should hold Miranda to account by attending every single office hour with her, every single meeting, noting when she votes/abstains, etc. Be as critical of her as APE was of the others, but, of course, with much more civility.[/quote]

+1. I don’t want to vote for Miranda, but she’s the only choice sadly. The other 2 have done less.[/quote]

What about being president of a school PTA? That is no small job in APS.[/quote]

According to this thread and whispers elsewhere, Erin was a divisive president. I mean Miranda is divisive too, but I just feel like their platforms are too similar. Might as well vote for Miranda then. At least I know what I’m getting.  :thumbup: [/quote]

Are you sure the rumors about Erin were not planted by her opponent's supporters? [/quote]

Conspiracy theories everywhere. As we are learning in every contemporary campaign truth is negligible. I don't believe Mirandas or Erin supporters or detractors. The only exposure I have to Erin is watching her at a recent SB meeting. All of Key's parents were begging to have their principal reinstated, and she talked about... learning loss? Good god, she was already running for the board then. And I was already immediately put off by her. Whether Miranda or Erin wins, it's the same candidate with no real gravitas.

Not that I want Angelo either. I'm just hoping an actual qualified Independent runs. Otherwise our kids are so, so screwed.

Do you have a link to Erin's comment to the School Board? [/quote]
