Never Too Soon to be Thinking about School Board Elections
Word is that there are considerations/planning being done for the School Board elections in fall 2013. Those would be for the seats of DeBell, Smith-Blum and Patu.
It is my understanding that DeBell is unlikely to run for a third term and may be running for a seat in the state legislature. As of now, he has made no public statement except to tell Publicola that he would have liked to run in his old legislative district (that his home was redistricted out of).
Director Patu appears to be running again and is having an event to celebrate her family's work in public service.
Her Legacy Luau event will be Thursday, June 28th at the Pravda Events Center, 1406 10th Avenue, Suite 200 at 7 p.m. There is a $75 suggested donation. RSVP at virtuouschg@msn.com or 425-891-6705.

what goes around comes around
And what is this about DeBell running for state legislature? Where would he run? This blog says he is now in the 43rd LD. No openings there. His old district the 36th is also full up isn't it?except for the open seat that he didn't file for this year.

Not as sure about Patu, and I like Smith-Blum. I'd be inclined to support Smith-Blum's reelection and I guess I am neutral on Patu.
Anyone have strong opinions on DeBell, Patu, or Smith-Blum? Anyone know of good people who might run for any of the seats?
Greg, don't mind me. I'm just up to HERE with him and his crew.
"Anyone but DeBell"
The same audit showed MGJ did not have the ability to manage district finances, but DeBell extended MGJ's contract. Several months later the board fired MGJ (no surprise with the audit they had) and it cost the district one third of a million dollars in severance packages for MGJ and Kennedy.
DeBell continually seeks to give away board power.
I would not trust him with public dollars.
Additionally, he does not seem to have the ability to work with his colleagues. He prefers to bully them in the press using his media and pollitical connections. This is NOT the type of leader I want.
No on DeBell
Yes on Patu!

Savvy Voter, totally disagree on Carr. She has been part of the problem.
