[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of us with students impacted immediately by these changes - I say please vote this school board out and make sure they never serve in public office again![/quote] You underestimate the intelligence of voters in our area who simply vote down ballot either red or blue. [/quote] When the Republican party runs a moderate, they will win. I won’t vote for a MAGA crazy or a Tea Party crazy for school board. I can count on the Democrats getting in each others way, because that seems to be the way of the Democrats. Putting people on the board who are willing to exclude students for a number of reasons instead of working to find common sense solutions is not acceptable. I don’t like the current board but replacing them with a different type of awful, one that is intolerant and dismissive and homophobic is not a good replacement. Changing out left wing Progressives for right wing nut jobs is not a good trade. Maybe the local Republican party will listen and run some moderates. Actual moderates who are focused on education and can present a solid plan for things like redistricting when schools are over crowded and how to adjust the CIP and how to better support SPED programs. Heck, toss in how to downsize the admin positions at Gatehouse and return that money to the schools. They would have a good deal of support.[/quote] Sandy Anderson's opponent was conservative, but cdntrist on school issues and much more qualified than Anderson.

[/quote] DP, but there was a lot of “revisionist history” on display from Karl Frisch last night. He claimed this process was “messy” because it was so transparent. Wrong. It was messy because much of the work was outsourced to an incompetent outside consultant, and Frisch was one of the architects for that decision, since his goal was to try and avoid accountability by saying the School Board was relying on outside “experts.” That blew up in their faces because Thru Consulting was staggeringly bad, so of course people vented to their School Board members.
