Crucial Voting for Seattle School Board
It happens every single time there are school board races - that it is VITAL to vote and get the right people on the Board. I will admit that last time, in trying to find good candidates for a couple of races, I certainly got fooled. I really thought that Sharon Peaslee and Marty McLaren were change agents. They did present themselves that way even as I realized they really didn't know the district well. My vetting of them found two fired-up women ready to come in and ask hard questions. Well, that really didn't happen (or it was piecemeal and uneven). I read everything I could find online and attended five candidates forums. Here are my picks for School Board, some with comments and some I just decided that I will let the candidates' words speak for themselves.
