I’m confused. I thought the OpenACPS people disagree with Hutchings and the way decisions have been made by the school board.
(I’m not in district b so it won’t affect my vote.)

MeeeOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!

I don't understand this Meow thing, if you don't like her, don't mock her.
She also organized donations to school teachers. I will pick her over others.

I think the meow poster was calling the previous poster catty.

Anyone know why Suarez isn't running again?

3 members for each district and the districts are geographic. There is discussion about making the Board smaller than 9.

Please grow up.

So that's a no for Johnson and no for Westfall from this district B voter.

How is it mocking her?

If you are planning on running for office maybe refrain from making fun of your potential constituents just because you disagree that local government should be more transparent and accountable to voters. It's not a good look.

The more problematic candidate in District B is Pre Ann Johnson. If you want someone resistant to change and completely in line with Hutchings, she is your candidate (ie a nightmare).

100% agree. She is not the candidate you want if you think there needs to be positive accountability and change in ACPS. She is also defensive and not open to feedback. She will just be a Hutchings clone.

Building on the messages about the school board election in the Non Binding Survey post, have there been any updates about who is running since this article from 5/5? Filing deadline is 6/8.
