They share this philosophy and want more of the same. They'd have kept McKngiht if they weren't forced to scapegoat her.
You mean they'd have kept McKnight if she hadn't recklessly withheld information from them.

+1000 especially in a presidential election year. The vast majority of people voting have no clue who’s running for the BOE and are there to just vote for national tickets. When they get a cute apple shaped pamphlet on their way into the polls that says “here’s who teachers support” it’s a slam dunk. I did the same when I was young and didn’t have kids.
Part of successful campaigning is getting your message out to the voters.

Because the board's issue with McKnight was not her equity philosophy. It was the fact that she nominated and pushed Beidleman through for promotion, which they unanimously voted in favor of, without giving them a heads up on his dirty laundry that she knew was marinating and festering in the background.

Be aware of who is running and Be careful who you vote for.
If you're unsure, it's best to vote apple ballot.
They always have the best picks.

That’s worked well for the current board so why not give it another go?
There are members on the current board who were not on the apple ballot. You probably don't like them either.
