The Most UNHINGED School Board Meetings
Three examples of crazy parents making ridiculous statements at board meetings. A school is only as healthy as the community it is in. The more dysfunctional the community, the more dysfunctional the school. Teachers can only do so much to compensate for deficiencies within the community.

Goshen district leaders' texts show shock and disgust regarding former board president
Based on some of the stories I've heard, I would not be even slightly surprised if something like this happened in Trona.

twister: I've heard pretty much the same with one board member in particular being mentioned frequently. There are some funny stories about the other board members which involve improper behavior, but only one board member is rumored to have committed an act which could be considered a felony.

Terrell: People can't understand the magnitude of this threat
Military intervention over parents expressing concern about their children's schools? That's just plain crazy!

Only one out of five board members have committed a felony. How does that compare to the general population? According to Google it's 2.27% who have been convicted, but who knows what percent has committed a felony.

Trona School Board candidates to meet in town hall
WHERE: Haughton Hall in the community center at 85100 Magnolia St.
WHEN: November 3rd at 6:00 p.m.
Five candidates are competing for three seats on the board. Incumbents Priscilla Benadom, Cathy Heseman, and Skylar Wayne McCullar are seeking reelection. Challenging them are Shannon Nichole Stephens and Victoria Flores.

It would be a good idea to give all three incumbents the boot, but at least one of them will stay.

wildrose: Apparently voters in Trona felt it best to leave The Human Centipede intact since it would be too much trouble to attempt to disassemble them.

The consensus opinion seems to be that there are too many old people in Trona who vote and not a whole lot of involved parents of kids in school who vote. Flores and Stephens got almost no votes from the elderly since they are not known by the old folks in town. Two of the candidates who won are part of the old folks crowd and the other has a mother who is part of the old folks crowd. So basically when you come right down to it, old folks who have no kids enrolled at the school are deciding who runs the school. The two parents with kids enrolled at the school (Flores and Stephens) lost the election as a result.
