Oh, you’d be shocked how stupid, narrow minded and outright hateful school board directors can be. Historically school board elections are dull… people really didn’t pay attention to who’s running, and with support just from their like-minded friends, these creeps get seated and wreck havoc and work to create the district they want… basically a conservative Christian ‘public’ school. Yeah,I’m a school board member and get to hear from Moms for Liberty at every meeting. And several of my newer fellow board members do M4L’s bidding. People need to wake up.

I've done my time so, no, I am not surprised. I've watched a local district where the Marino-financed BOD allows non-school business to be discussed at meetings all the time, including furries, election denial, etc. BOD members appear to not be aware that the meetings are the business meetings of the district which allows limited public participation (meaning, the public comments portion present a limited public forum). Poor job of education by PSBA, imho.

PSBA is finally pushing out some “revised” policies that reiterate what a board should and should not do. But I agree they can be a lot more helpful. Push out emails to us reminding us… giving guidance on how ti handle unruly public comments, etc. Our board president is reluctant to enforce rules for public comment and also for board discussion (like, off topic, save that for “new business” etc) because of the immediate backlash we’ll get from the small yet very vocal group of Mastriano supporters. I’m the only one to call “point of order” and ask presiding officer to enforce rules. When I do, he does, but damn it’s a circus out there. I worry about the kids, the teachers, the administration. District is getting dragged down and I want all parents to wake up.

imho, PSBA is more about getting school boards to work with school administrators than they are about representing the school board point of view. Only useful thing they've done over the past decade is making Simon Campbell chew on his toenails.

Ha! And how fitting that Mr. Campbell lives in Bucks Co.

His numerous RTKL filings have helped public schools more than he knows. School employees' personal info, for instance, is more secure now than when he first started his garbage a decade ago. His war on teachers' collective bargaining units is pretty much done thanks to various court rulings. Dud loves to lose.
