Two grassroots school board candidates defeat two business-backed ed reform incumbents in Seattle
Four strong grassroots challengers took on four rubber-stamping, corporate ed reform school board incumbents here in Seattle on Nov. 8. All but one race was close. Two of the challengers won!Martha “Marty” McLaren and Sharon Peaslee both won, and will soon join Seattle’s seven-member school board, hopefully tipping the balance towards sensible, responsible and thoughtful leadership that is responsive to the parents and community of SPS, and not outside political agendas.
(They will be sworn in at 4 p.m. today at the JSCEE district headquarters.)
