Seattle School Board Elections 2019 Updates
As I previously mentioned elsewhere, Director Jill Geary, in her board comments comments at last week's meeting, stated that she and Chandra Hampson, SCPTSA president, are writing a policy around racism in the district.The candidate who is running for Geary's seat on the Board is the woman she is co-writing the policy on racism with? And she announces this after Hampson filed for that seat?
Silly me, I thought only the Board actually wrote the policies and that they just accepted input from others.
Wonder if Geary wants to work with the other two people running for that seat on writing Board policies?
Candidates, some free advice.
1) Not everyone is on Facebook so just having a Facebook page may not be as helpful as having a website.
2) I said this at an earlier thread:
It does make me smile at the number of people who think running for school board is just filing, getting a couple of helpers and off you go. In 2019, that's some unsophisticated thinking.I did not mean that as an insult. I meant that many otherwise bright people have no idea the amount of work and organization and money it takes to run a campaign even for school board. As someone who has run a political campaign and helped many, many candidates on their campaigns, I know this. You can have good ideas and have great speaking skills but you still may not win if your campaign is lackluster.
3) I say this to ALL candidates. Do be yourself but, whether you like it or not, people want their school board directors to look like solid (read:dull) citizens. The Stranger was merciless one time on a candidate who wore a dress with boots. I always tell candidates, you can wear whatever you want...after you are elected.

Michael Christophersen
No info available except for his last foray into running for the Board. Amazingly, the Times endorsed him but it's a big hard no from me. He is just unqualified and lacks the temperament for the position.
Darcie Kline
No info available except that she appears to be either Mr. Christophersen's wife/partner.
