I used to live in a great school district until school board members stayed on after their kids graduated and they realized with zero opposition from the community and the Superintendent, they could dole out jobs to their friends and family.

For the first time in forever, the school board will be contested with two elections for two seats. It should be interesting how things will end up, but I think an incumbent on the board for 18 years with zero opposition is going to have to deal with an angry electorate with two years of COVID. The problem for the incumbents is that on their watch, our schools are getting worse.
