According to this blog, it seems that the current BOE members up for re-election will be running again - Gary Bettan, Lori Weinstein and Angel Cepeda. Also, it has been rumored that two spouses of teachers will be running also.
None of these options looks good for any child or taxpayer in this community.
It's a conflict of interest to have someone voting on teacher contracts that their spouses will receive the benefits of.
The current BOE moves too slowly and has not focused their priorities on the betterment of education.
It's true that the measly voter turnout (3,000 or so voters) has a decent portion comprised of PCT members, their families (spouses and voting age children), and other sympathetic union members.
We need two things - (1) community voter turnout by those not influenced by the PCT and (2) candidates that can make a difference.
