I agree. How about electing someone who recently went through the DC public school system and knows first hand what DC students are going through. Someone like Tony Donaldson.

New twist!

I am the candidate and am personally writing to apologize for the comment that was written earlier. This is my account and I occasionally post mom related event information around the city on this forum.
Today's comment was written by a volunteer who was using my laptop to do other campaign related activities while I was not around. I was unaware of what was going on until I returned just now.
The comment was completely inappropriate and should not have been written. I have run a completely positive campaign and will continue to do so for the remaining eight days. Needless to say, the volunteer involved will no longer be helping me.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss this matter further.

There should be a dedicated spot for a current or recent high school student. How else can we get input from those directly impacted by education policy?

Oh wait, how about having Ashley's volunteer serve in that role. Certainly sounds like the person is a child.

I wish they would stop referring to the person as someone who logged into an account and email owned by Ashley Carter. Or maybe I should start doing that. A cheesecake was taken from the office refrigerator today by a person using a set of arms belonging to Jan Dingle...

Well at least Ashley logged out this time...

I think Ashley is innocent this time. The thread go linked on Reddit so we can probably expect more such posts.

Those who don't learn from history shouldn't be serving on a school board.
