Andy Nelson Chiropractic Physician. Wants to Maintain a fiscally conservative budget, while working to pay teachers more.
Jane Robertson Retired Teacher. Wants to rebuild our school communities as we address the improvement of scores.
The candidates’ statements fail to reflect raging conservatism and exclusionary philosophies from 3 of them.
It’s sadly what conservatives have become. They lie, cheat and hide info to get elected and are then subservient to their puppet masters and donors, using fear tactics to pass bills. There is no critical race theory in our schools, vouchers pull money out of public schools, which are required to teach all kids, while reducing quality and programming and stripping teachers of resources while private charters can segregated and cherry pick who they educate. It is a scam and corrupt as can be and we don’t need several schools in a single square mile! It’s wasteful, expensive and unfair!
Thank you Nancy, you helped me make up my mind for school board members. I shall now feel comfortable in voting for Conn, Nelson and Hamer.
Absolutely right. These statements did nothing to help me make an educated choice among the candidates.
Michele Hamer was going door to door spouting off misinformation about the “terrible” things going on at the local teen center and how opposed she was to their LGBTQIA prom and that it should not be allowed to happen. She is unable and unwilling to represent all students regardless of their affiliation.
The proof is in the pudding and Brooks Compton provides the proof.
My vote is for Brooks Compton’
The comments made by Nancy Shoults are laughable . The public school system is a sham and have left our children behind in their education because of Covid. However, the only good thing about being out of school is that the parents saw the propaganda being taught by these public school teachers. This is why the tax money should follow the child: Private, religious , charter or home schooling . Public school is Government school .
I’m voting for Robertson, Goligoski, and Vincent. These other candidate have issues.
Nancy I’m sorry but it’s sad what CONSERVATIVES have become? Basically a lot of us have been pushed from middle of the roaders and far more to the right because of what LIBERALS have become. It really is disturbing. And I do believe there should be a place and an outlet for LGBTQ kids but should NOT be pushed on them. It’s not some right wing conspiracy-that’s a flat out lie. I have seen proposed sex ed books where there is a drawing of a male giving another male oral sex. I used to split my ticket to have both sides but because of how irrational liberals and dems have become on all issues I now go straight republican. It is a sad situation.
