Many people were very turned off by their actions last year. Now they are basically a lobbying organization getting ready to run a candidate for SB so they have formed all sorts of opinions on other things.

Some are pretty reasonable but these people don't have a lot of depth on the issues, so they get things wrong or miss the bigger needs. Overall they are a group of white high income families, and that really colors their views and advocacy.

Most candidates have lacked a lot of depth on issues. Worse, they also just take a personal agenda and run with it or just repeat the popular things they think parents support.

This is my take as well. They are trying to position themselves for future political action. SB candidate. Endorsements. Something.

But it’s hard to take them seriously after their behavior last year. And the more newsletters they put out, the clearer it is that they don’t have deep knowledge.

No! I wish they would! At least then we'd be hearing from them about what's going on in APS and what they intend to do about it.

Perfect! They will fit in with the rest of the SB members who all lack a “deep knowledge”!
LOL

Are the SB members publishing newsletters with "analysis" based on their inadequate knowledge?

It’s so established and has a better more rigorous curriculum. No one from APE should waste their time on what we all knew from day 1 that this would be a disaster.

I guess they knew they had it in the bag and it was better to be behind the scenes now, while VLP parents were begging the board not to pause the program.

What a strange question.
