The spot is currently held by Thomas Deakins, a former board
chairman who has said in the past that he will not run again.
Shepherd announced made the announcement over at Randy’s
place. You can find it right smack here. (Damn hippie.)
I think I’ve met Tamara. I know I’ve talked to her on the
phone. I know I don’t always agree with her, and I think in her research she
goes down the wrong rabbit holes, albeit, always with the right intentions.
That said, she does actually research the issues, she cares
about local education and she will NOT be a yes-woman for Lord McIntyre, school
superintendent.
She is going to ask some serious questions in public and
call him out in public. If she wins during the 2014 election. And that’s a big
“if.”
The beautiful people will no doubt field a candidate and
pump a bunch of money into that person’s campaign. They do not want someone
like Shepherd on the board. It’s bad enough Mike McMillan doesn’t toe the line.
One more? That means it’s worse. Three more after that? Well, we all know what
happens then.
District seats 1, 4, 7 and 9 also are up for re-election.
School board seats by the way are not term-limited. They also are non-partisan.

It is going to be fascinating to see how they handle a person who actually tries to do her homework. I don't agree with her conclusions on a lot of things, but she's a public school advocate who believes in the power of public education and understands how public education, more than any other social factor, has caused us to have the great society in which we live. THere is the added bonus in that she will scare the shit out of the squares. :)
