Interesting quote:

"Murray has actively intervened in education over the past two years, always with a ritual nod to "partnership" with the school district."

I've not forgotten that voters approved the largest Family and Education Levy for high need schools, and the city pulled $300K because a principal needed to move across the country. Funding was to support counselors and wrap around services. It took public attention to get those funds back into Sand Point:
