The N&O has an article today on changes that may be coming to the Wake County School Board in light of Malone's election to a statewide office (he's expected to resign once results are certified), and speculation that Tedesco and Goldman may not run for re-election to the Board next year. (Apparently, Tedesco may need to go get a paying job.)
Granted I think pretty much every single member of the school board has been acting unprofessional, but I wouldn't elect any of them to a state office either.
While I disagree with you about keeping money at home, I absolutely agree with you on this point. I would not reelect any of them to their current positions either. We need a clean sweep and elect true non partisans. Right now they are all partisans, right down the line. They are a complete disgrace. Unfortunately partisan voters vote in partisan people and such is the cycle of the problems.
Again, the issue is not keeping money at home. I have some cash at home as well for emergencies. But I keep it in a well-secured safe. Like all people with common sense should.

But if I was a thief, the first place I'd look for stuff is your safe. I'd never think to look in a ratty old pink backpack. Uncommon sense.
haha yeah but if the safe is bolted down you won't get very far before the police show up from you triggering the alarm system in the first place.
But you do bring up a good point. How in the world would a thief know to steal a backpack? Was it open with the cash out for everyone to see? Did the person somehow know of this backpack's existence? Or maybe the backpack didn't exist at all?
This reminds me of the time my mom went into the hospital for major surgery and was in ICU for a long time. She had given me power of attorney and I went to her house to collect her mail and pay her bills. I couldn't find her purse, wallet, or her checkbook, and had no way of asking her because 1) I didn't want to trouble her and 2) she was on a ventilator. So for a couple of months I just paid the bills myself. Finally I asked her best friend what in the world she could've done with the purse/checkbook, and she said look in the microwave. Viola! There it was. It just never occurred to me to look there!
The issue isn't that she kept the cash at home. The issue for me is that she calls the police and then has some pretty wacky rational for why the money is kept there and promptly accuses people she has various issues with of stealing it. She also calls the cops too much!! It's a waste of public resources and honestly reading some of these reports I think she's got a few mental health issues.
All things old are new again....
The new school board is going to re-assign approximately 1500 students next year. But don't worry - the real reassignment plan won't be available until the following year.
^ How do you propose they handle new schools opening, lots of new students starting school, new people moving to the area, etc? What percentage of those people moving to the area move into the city of Raleigh, and how many move into suburbs? There must be a very simple solution that someone is overlooking?

We could take the Jessie Helms approach to Chapel Hill, but instead of keeping people fenced in we keep newcomers out
