I will be calling a big old ■■■■■■■■ on that excuse. He knew and he lied. There was no misunderstanding at all.

This is definitely true.
If there’s one thing we know about rapists, it’s that they avoid non-permissive situations.
As they say, the revolution will consume her children. Always has, always will. The “woke” Revolution will do the same.
Surprise surprise. Guess we could put the “We didn’t know to bed”
“The superintendent for Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) sent an email alerting the school board of an alleged assault on the same day as the one that has captured national headlines.”

Ok. So the Superintendent essentially lied at a school board meeting about knowledge of the attack. That’s bad and he should be sanctioned for that. But other than that, it appears the school and the superintendent did what they were supposed to do after the attack occurred. They contacted the police, they contacted the school board, they contacted the family … and from that point, it seems they did what was required. FULL STOP.
What is required, was not enough. The problem to me, is that they haven’t adequately protected their students from assaults and represented victims aggressively enough after an assault happened. They followed the rules, but those rules need to be changed.
One other item…they allowed the incident at the school board meeting to be described as an example of domestic terrorist activity and be sent all the way to the attorney general of the United States without mentioning this very relevant background to the incident…which included the school superintendent basically announcing that the incident that set the whole disturbance into occurring had never happened (I.e. the victims,family was lying)

Question; why is there a “National School Boards Association”?

Good question.

Same reason there’s a Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Association and a National Association of Manufacturers and a Society for Human Resource Management
Education, Advocacy and Networking for people in a job.
Aren’t school boards local with local interests?
“School board” is a job?

I have to think you’re smart enough to understand that things like:
- setting a budget
- teacher recruitment and retention
- superintendent search
- negotiations with teachers unions
are activities that more than one District face and that it is helpful to learn from others.
Board members don’t join with innate knowledge of whether, say, it makes sense to issue a bond. It’s not like the decision model is different in Pennsylvania or Texas when it comes to this stuff.
I like how you’re collectivist enough to understand things like:
- Standardization
- National control
- Indoctrination

You’re right - there’s no value in a new board member learning from other board members.
What a dumb argument you have. And one, I think, that you know is stupid and wrong.
Local means local.
Are all behaviors that are genetically predispositioned “not a choice” and therefore condoned, legitimized, and taught?
Great.
From the NSBA:
The Importance of Local Governance in Public Schools
There are six key reasons why local governance is the best way to advance public education:
Education is not a line item in a school board’s budget—it is the only item.
The school board represents the community’s voice in public education, providing citizen governance and knowledge of the community’s resources and needs, and board members are the policy-makers closest to the student.
The school board sets the standard for achievement in the school district, incorporating the community’s view of what students should know and be able to accomplish at each grade level.
The school board is accessible to everyone in the community and is accountable for the performance of the schools in the district.
It is the community member’s right as a voter to select new board members who will work diligently to provide an opportunity for students to receive a high-quality education, which will enable them to succeed in their career, college, and life.
The school board is the community’s education watchdog, ensuring that taxpayers get the most for their tax dollars.

Clearly, this group is anti-local control, what with the advocacy for local control.
Further illustrating your wrongness on this group, they take the opposite view in lobbying against the Department of Education’s
NSBA believes it is crucial for local school boards to maintain decision-making authority at the local level as well as accountability for high-quality educational services.
The expansion of federal intrusion on public education in recent years has impacted local policymaking in ways that impose unnecessary rules, conditions and restrictions, as well as significant costs, on local school governance.
Come on man, stop pretending.
