[quote="guest13"][quote="attitude & actions ma"]We should all absolutely pay attention to the positive characteristics, experience and/or expertise that each candidate can bring to the BOE.  Varied experiences, perspectices and expertise do matter.   However, a major factor influencing my voting this year is the openess and disposition of our candidates.

Are they interested and open to hearing public opinions, concerns and questions?!  Do they believe in authentically partnering with parents and the public to support all kids and our community at large... OR are they more concerned with living in the past, hearing themselves speak and being 'right'?

It is no secret that in our community that if you have a concern or question about the school's practice or procedures and you attempt to address it with the Board, some members are likely to be dismissive, offer public humiliation tactics, only be concerned with their opinions rather than truly listening to the concerns being presented, OR  start an unprofessional public debate.  It simply is NOT healthy to have BOE members that do not demonstrate open, honest and collaborative communication.

You make it sound ("it is no secret") that your opinion is common, accepted knowledge, but that's not my experience at all.  I have gradually met and gotten to know a majority of the board members through various school functions and I have yet to interact with any of the ones I have met in the negative way you portray.  It seems like anonymous mud-slinging to me.  In any event, if it is a common as you suggest no one needs to take your word for it because that should already be their first-hand experience.  And if it's not, then that probably suggests your point of view is not as widespread or accurate as you believe.

BTW, I know one of the non-incumbents running as well and also have nothing but a good experience with her.  We have plenty of great options, all volunteers ready to devote a lot of their personal time in the service of our community, and I see no reason to go negative.[/quote]
