Our monitors are all extended day staff. We will need them back working their regular hours. There will be no shifts. Mary and Miranda’s platforms are both obsolete now. [/quote]

Miranda’s platform was obsolete the minute it was clear five days per week would happen in the fall. Mary’s was never about opening schools or not. Look at her webpage from day 1 - she was and is focused on all the other issues facing APS and our students. She addressed the school closing/opening issue eventually, but wasn’t campaigning on it because it’s moot by the time Jan 1 2022 rolls around. By contrast, Miranda had nothing else in her quiver when this all started. She has no track record of engaging in APS or APS issues, and pulled her child from the system went she wasn’t happy. This is not a candidate invested in the long term of APS. Despite ALL CAPS screaming by some on AEM, the caucus is not a referendum on opening schools. [/quote]

Yeah, well, Diaz-Torres had no experience, either.  And no, I don't count 4 years of Teach for America - or whatever it's called - in Nevada as experience for being on the Arlington SB.  Anybody could put together the agenda Mary has laid out - it's merely all the key talking points and phrases with no specific proposals or solutions.  I am an undecided voter between Mary and Miranda. But at this point, if Audrey Clement were running for SB, I'd vote for her without hesitation.[/quote]

I follow both Turner and Kadera's campaign on Facebook, and was surprised to see an SR admin screenshot (I think you guys call her lawyer lady) in a pre-debate Kadera Zoom party. I thought Kadera was distancing herself from these parent advocacy groups? Yikes.[/quote]
