gone crazy?

Amanda Lonsberry, school board candidate.
No, seriously, it's true.
I'm #7 on the ballot. Seven people running for three spots. My chances are slim, but I figure why not? I gathered my petition the weekend before it was due because only one person had turned in a petition to serve with three spots to fill. That didn't seem logical with all the issues facing the district I live in, including massive cuts to state and federal funding, declining property tax values, a newly resigned superintendent AND consideration of a consolidating districts. Good people NEED to be at the helm of this ship.
Crazy times, and my kids will be in this school.
They're the ones who will be affected long-term by the decisions this school board makes.
So, I'm running.
The way far back black sheep, the lady not from here, the lady married to the radio guy.
And I managed to draw #7, which everyone else sees as a sign of doom. Because people are only smart enough to vote for the candidates in the 1, 2 & 3 position, apparently.
Do they not know that I am from Nevada, home of lucky 7s, born in '77, played 7 as my Keno number forever (don't ask)?
I see 7 as a good omen...if I believed in such things. :)
So, you can follow my school board thoughts over at the blog I started for that little venture. Who knows if anyone will look at it, but I figured I needed to cover my bases. So, www.mmschoolboarder.wordpress.com.
Thoughts, opinions, ideas that would make a good school board member are welcome.
