in Chatham, I don't know the result yet, except Munn lost, and that was a very bad sign, she has been a better board member, having lost, than the so-called winning Democrat, a very bad sign of partisanship. but I think and fear it is the future.
I have to give Flint credit - he asks a lot of questions, wants the administration to provide data to back up what they say. If there were 4 Flints on the board, I would be happy (but I'd still run again). I was 663 votes short last time - I don't know how many people I've met since the election, but I'm well on my way to 2012. |

I hear that Mia is planning to run again in 2012. She has my vote. |

Mia is a great person and a awesome Scout Leader. Mia needs to be on the BoE because of her dedication and desire to make the school system the best it can be and more.

I'll let you all know which school board candidates attend the Sept 13, Oct 4, and Oct 11 board meetings. (I won't hold it against anyone if they don't attend the Nov 1 meeting, the night before election day.)

Is there a problem with attendance?

I agree with Maxine! Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist.'

Elizabeth Haddix, who has dropped out, attended one school board meeting this spring. As far as I know (I did miss a couple meetings) no other candidate has attended a meeting since they filed to run in February. |

I would say that qualifies as a problem!

Aren't the two incumbents showing up? Or are they not candidates?

Yes, Deb McManus and Gary Leonard are both running and do attend the meetings - thanks for making my clarify. None of the non-incumbent candidates have attended any meetings since February. |
