Seattle Schools Community Forum

Ask Michael Christophersen, School Board candidate, District 1. Mr. Christophersen - either to be annoying and/or to try to glom onto my popular blog's name and look - redid his own Special Education blog with the exact same background, the same SPS log of senior management (complete with my errors) AND put "A" in front of my "Seattle Schools Community Forum" title. I didn't know this happened until some people saw it and wrote to me, confused about why he was writing for my blog.  He is not. I am writing this because I wrote to him and asked him to cease and desist. He changed only the background.  Had he done as I asked, I would not be writing this thread. I find this a pathetic move and it speaks of someone who will do anything to try to get elected.  (If he's doing it just to annoy me, that's even more pathetic.) I hope readers take note for future voting decisions.

District 1   Scott Pinkham ; so far, no campaign website or campaign Facebook page Michael Christophersen ; so far, no campaign website or campaign Facebook page To note, I spoke with the PDC because, in reviewing the school board races, I see that neither Pinkham nor Christophersen has registered with them.  According to PDC rules, once you do one of several things - including announce your candidacy - you have to register with the PDC.  They said letters are going out this week to candidates in all races where the candidate has announced but not registered with the PDC.  The PDC is not an enforcement agency but said that if there is no reply to the letter, then a hearing is scheduled in late July and if no reply there, those names are turned over to the county auditor.  They don't know if candidates who don't register with the PDC would be kicked off the ballot but they would be subject to fines.
