Here is the video of Saundra Davis at the school board last night. Please share what she said specifically for you to call her an unreasonable person. I listened to her comments more than once and I don’t see how anyone with children at FCPS would disagree, but I’m open to hear a different perspective:

Just want to point out that the School Board’s self-serving decision a couple of years ago to cut speaker time from three to two minutes makes most speakers sound rushed, as they are just trying to get through their remarks in the limited time allotted.
In this instance, I think Davis would have sounded calmer if she’d had more time to deliver her remarks, but it’s almost like the SB wants citizen speakers to sound agitated so they can justify not paying any attention to them. In terms of the substance, many parents with recent experience with FCPS would agree with what Davis had to say.
I agree with Davis’ comments completely. Hard not to sound agitated when you are so passionate about the points she brings up, particularly because they are recurrent and the school board just disregards them.
BTW, how I wished the never ending congratulatory self-flattering speeches School Board members give at these meetings were limited to two minutes as well.
It was unhinged verbal diarrhea of right wing talking points.
The School Board members have engaged in non-stop self-promotion for the last four years while FCPS declined. It’s cathartic when someone steps up to the plate and calls them out.

And, some years ago, the speakers spoke from the right side of the auditorium at the front and we could see their faces. It is dehumanizing to only show their backs. A deliberate choice by the Board, I am sure.
FWIW, I agree with everything Davis said.

No. Frisch actually talks and knows about academics and local issues instead of right-wing culture war issues.
Carl Frisch creates cultural war issues.
So did Elizabeth Schultz. Stop pretending this is a "left" issue. GTFOH with that.
Schultz isn’t running this fall; Frisch is. He is incredibly bad when it comes to meeting the needs of his constituents, yet highly partisan and more interested in polarizing than unifying the community he was elected to serve.

Isn’t he the guy running against Frisch?
There’s no bigger moron on the School Board, and no bigger stooge among the current candidates, than Karl Frisch.
He spent four years ignoring constituents, wasting money, and trying unsuccessfully to get elected to state office before now deciding to run for re-election and start blitzing people with e-mail updates.
If someone decided to bait Sabio into an argument about 2A, so what? No one could possibly be worse for Providence than Frisch.
I've had several conversations with Karl Frisch and he is caring and knowledgeable about literacy standards and other academics. Based on his handout and his website, this other guy just doesn't know what he's talking about. I'd prefer we not elect another Elizabeth Schultz
You've got to be kidding. No he is not knowledgeable, he didn't go to college, he has no kids, and the only jobs he's had are in policy advocacy. He knows how to advocate for his cause. That's about it.
Do you know him? Have you met him and had a conversation in person? What sort of research have you done on his background?
And what is your expertise on these matters?
Give examples of his accomplishments. He can be the nicest guy in the world, but his accomplishments seem to be against the advantages of the students.
1. Gave up new school for students in order to keep playground for dogs
2. Kept schools closed.
3. Advocates for one group over another.

I think they’re trying to look nonpartisan.
That doesn’t make sense because Paul Bartkwoski identifies as nonpartisan, even though he has been endorsed by the GOP, whereas Robyn Lady identifies as a Democrat, and has been endorsed by the Democratic Party.
It would be interesting to learn why is it that the FCPA identifies more with Robyn Lady’s platform since she is will advocate for more Transformative SEL in our schools and will defy the 2023 Model Policies without a doubt. perhaps that is what FCPA stands for now.

Nonsense. He wastes taxpayer money and just cares about LBGTQ issues. He doesn’t “know about academics” at all.
