Maybe, in the meantime they can kiss their property values goodbye. Trumpain trash doesn’t have a whole lot of money to throw around.

Good luck finding a replacement.


I don’t know the backstory but at least their board votes and seems to at least care what the superintendent does which is a nice contrast to APS where the Board never votes and simply sits looking bored and saying “ok whatever “ whenever anything is presented.


You should know the backstory before commenting so you don't embarrass yourself.

Wow. VA has some serious trash.

“ The school board meeting began with a vote to appoint member Kirk Twigg as the new chair -- Twigg was one of the board members who suggested banning and burning books with sexually explicit material.”
