My city created a facebook group to specifically speak about local politics (to keep politics out of the main city facebook group). I'm sure this will all be a hot topic over the next month!


What was learned:

Difference between board and Super

know who is responsible for what action…saves a lot of time…great advice

Better understanding of roles of board and administration

This will help me talk to voters about how to evaluate whether candidates are suitable for the role.

Will help me feel more confident when attending meetings
