Do you mean this from their original introduction?

Schools are the centerpiece of a thriving community and are directly linked to the development of our children into contributing members of our community. The success and perception of our schools also affects our property values, safety and local economic development.

They're not wrong.

Seriously what is wrong with this? Our property taxes fund lots of things we ALL benefit from including our public school system

PP- actually you sound like you're the one that's uninformed. You really need to be OPEN and be willing to hear all voices and do your research. If you did, then you would know that Austin's platform is not about preserving property values. By the way, one very vocal group who opposes him, ONE Montgomery- one of the reasons they were formed was to increase their property values. Truth.

Your definition of truth must be different from mine.

That's very obvious. Do your research and you will see.

This is One Montgomery's vision. Which of these are you against?

EQUITY. Allocate resources according to educational load to ensure that each child receives instruction and supports according to her needs in order to receive a world-class education.
LEADERSHIP. Competent and effective leadership at all levels, with commitment to accountability, transparency and results.
ACCESS. Ensure that all students are able to access the excellent opportunities MCPS has to offer, according to ability and desire, and are actively recruited and encouraged to achieve.
DIVERSITY. Promote hiring practices so that professional staffing reflects student population.
COMMUNITY. Stimulate (support) use of school facilities as a center of community activities.
PARTNERSHIP. Actively seek to establish and maintain partnerships with businesses and non-profits for the benefit of students.

They don't know about the skeletons in her closet, the lies, the unethical behavior, etc. I'd say her strong showing is a result of people's frustration with the unions (those anti-apple ballot), the high turnout of youth, and the misguided Post endorsement (owned by Bezos, who bought our local paper, the Gazette, and shuttered it).

If it comes down to Harris v Dasgupta, my vote is for Dasgupta.

As a Democrat who also voted for Austin, it's a bit disappointing. I voted for him, because he's the only one who bothered to meet and listen to my community (before the stay at home order). Also, I thought the BOE could use more balance.

Balance of what? Balance between people who are informed and people who are uninformed? Balance between people who think that schools are about education and people who think that schools are about property values? Balance between people who have worked to improve education and people who have repeatedly mongered fear and spread lies?

I personally voted for Steve Austin because I don’t think there is enough diversity on the BOE. The President, Vice President and both at large members are from the Silver Spring area. We have a large and diverse county and we need a more balanced BoE.
