The answer, according to the question and answer session in which we appeared before the District's faculty and staff unions this past Wednesday, is not Denise Santa Cruz Bohman.
At that meeting I recalled that nearly the entire board had their eyes and ears closed to dozens of parents from all 3 elementary programs who packed every Board meeting last Winter and Spring to protest cuts being promoted by the board that would have killed the Waldorf Inspired program (which my daughter attends).
Taking time off from her knitting long enough to participate, incumbent Denise Santa Cruz Bohman chided parents who packed the board meetings and suggested we stop and try to handle these things one on one behind closed doors. Afterall, Denise assured us that she does all her advocacy quietly, one on one with important people.
One wonders how someone with so little faith in the democratic process would bother running for an elected position at all. Why not just get yourself appointed by one's friends with a handshake in a private meeting?
