Maybe, but it still makes no sense. She's loved by the community and if she runs next year, she'll win. She probably wouldn't even have a challenger. Someone responded in AEM that Mary needs to address it herself, and I agree with that because it is still rumor no matter what anyone says in AEM.

It doesn’t make sense that OP would smear Cristina and David. It also doesn’t make sense they hate Mary.

DP. Well she did smear Cristina and David by naming them publicly in the thread.

Those two deserved to be smeared

If the whole point is to make sure Mary becomes the chair, smearing two colleagues, even if they deserve it, isn't it. After they leave, they are going to still be influential in APS politics too. See Tannia, Barbara, Reid. Good luck to AEM OP.


I just don't even get what her supporters are trying to accomplish here. The whole post made Mary look worse.

WTF? It doesn’t make her look worse.

Maybe you're an insider who knows all the deets, but for me a call for emails to the Arlington County School Board based on unsubstantiated rumors, calling out other SB members who may or may not have anything to do with it is so stupid. I hope Mary and her friends can fix it because I actually do like her as a school board member and think she would be just as good of a chairperson as anyone else.

Did Mary ask for people to email about it? I didn’t see her post.

Of course not. You're just being obtuse. AEM OP did the job for Mary, whether she asked for it or not. And boy did she go hard. And not in a good way. Hope they got what they wanted out of it. Because from where I sit, AEM OP and friends just made it a lot harder for Mary to conduct business with her colleagues.

Airing dirty laundry especially in a dumpster fire forum is never a good look. +1.
