Don't get too excited. She wasn't fired for being awful. She was fired for not being better at being awful. Don't expect anyone better (for us) to replace her. Still, good riddance. #PamBondiFired

I spent two years seconding things on the board! 😅 But seriously, the Memb at Large (and VP for that matter) roles meant a lot more back when we had an Executive Committee, so the job came with actual official voting power, such as for what items went in the regular school board meeting agendas, etc

Thanks for the correction, Beth. Was definitely not me. And you're right to Hmm. This is not okay behavior. SPS has a policy to prioritize STUDENT speakers; not students' parents, using their children to subvert the intention and spirit of that policy. Adults need to get in line.

Absolutely; unions work to negotiate fair contracts that include protections for workers. But when the farmers aren't providing the PPE that workers need, the UFW is meeting that urgent need, because if they don't, workers could die while the cases are litigated.

Another sup’ bites the dust 💨Working with Dr. Jones, there were as many things to love about him as there were to not. But many of his ‘faults’ were not his alone to own (ahem, school board’s) and there were key times he listened to the spectrum of community voices and (thankfully) changed course.

Canadian PM Trudeau announced 25% tariffs on $150 billion+ in U.S. goods, following Trump's announcement Saturday of 25% tariffs on Canadian goods. It's going to hurt both us and Canadians, but it's not an unreasonable response to what are incredibly unreasonable actions by the Trump administration

I’m honestly not sure what was worse - the several times CM Kettle tried to interrupt Monty (and then cut off Monty before he was finished talking), or the way he chastised him like a small child.This should not be allowable behavior for a Councilmember. I think CM Kettle needs to “STOP!”
