At best, Zimmerman is using the BoE position as a stepping stone to a career in politics. At worst, she's a workaround to giving the union a spot on the board. She doesn't have any kids the system, she won't feel the impact that of any BoE decisions would have on kids.

Both Zimmerman and Diaz are absolutely terrible candidates that don't belong anywhere near the board.

Zimmerman seems wonderful to me.

She may be a wonderful person and a wonderful teacher, but she's a terrible candidate for the board.

Sure, how awful it would be for a wonderful person and a wonderful teacher to be on the board of education.

Not only that, the BOE has 9 members, right? No one member can get much done unless 4 others sign on.

That's more of an argument in favor of Diaz.

No, it's not. Here's the rule: don't vote for a crank.

That’s where I am.

Well, your choice isn't a unicorn candidate that you conjure from your imagination. It's between someone you think is sup-optimal, and someone aligned with the worst elements of US society/discourse.

Zimmerman was not my first choice, but she's the only choice I have left. Sometimes that how politics works.

That's how I feel when too, except it is driving me to Diaz rather than Zimmerman.

So you want a fired teacher who doesn’t show up for work on time and supports moms4liberty? You sound brilliant!

Nothing is wrong with Natalie Zimmerman. She will be an informed, well-reasoned member of the board of education should she win. Having a sane, experienced teacher on the board of education is a good thing, people.

I’m def voting for her but am curious if she will step down from teaching. I don’t see how she could teach and do the number of hearings and meetings they have during school hours.

She's required to step down but lots of the BOE members have other full time jobs. Not sure how that works.

She has to, per the bylaws.

Per MD state statute, in fact:

"An individual subject to the authority of the county board may not serve as a member of the county board. At the time of filing a certificate of candidacy for election to a county board, a person shall certify to the local board of supervisors of elections whether or not the person is subject to the authority of the county board. The Governor may not issue a commission of election to a person who has certified affirmatively and who is elected to a county board until the member–elect offers proof that the member–elect is no longer subject to the authority of the county board."

Diaz was toxic to the social studies dept at GHS. I used to work there.

The BOE has 8 members: 5 district members, 2 at-large, plus the SMOB.

You might as well will leave it blank then. A write in is a wasted vote.

There was something circulating on Facebook about how she was persistently extremely late, often missing her first class even though she lived five minutes from school.

I seriously want to know how who to write in.
