Totally right on Zombies. Let’s not get into a debate here about how wonderful the out and on-going board members are — let’s get new voices/perspectives in there. Across the Board!

Have you confirmed that Valerie Wilson is not running for re-election, DM? If not, then I might be careful calling her spot “vacated.”

Glad to have new blood interested in a filling what is a thankless position. No good deed goes unpunished, as the saying goes.

Regardless of the makeup of the Board, I tend to give a very qualified, very thorough and circumspect Dr. Edwards the benefitof the doubt.

Talk about a thankless position!

This is great news! I sincerely hope that more people will step up to run for the board this fall. We need some clearly stated “issues” and some clearly defined “sides” so that more people will understand that we can have choices about decisions that are made instead of the Superintendent’s recommendations always being the deciding factor.

Agree that Rob is thoughtful, committed, energetic, articulate, and sticks to his guns. He is active on the Clairemont SLT which has been one of the best SLTs in terms of embracing the concept of true local school governance and in terms of accomplishments, like instituting the Saturday math academy.
