This afternoon, the playground was buzzing with speculation about tonight's 7pm BoE swearing-in ceremony.
Specifically whether the 'real result' of a very public fracture with her former coalition and subsequent bloody campaign will be a dramatic resignation, a no-show or a stoic, suck-it-up appearance of one sitting Board member. You know who I'm talking about.
My guess is that said Board member will show up to face the music.
More talk: with the swearing-in of new members, the tradition is to rearrange assigned seating at the 'dais' (that's what I call it, you know the long table where the bar-mitzvah boy sits... mazeltov!). So, with the new arrangement, who will sit next to whom? Who gets put on the far ends (east and west Siberia)? Who is going to sit next to... well, um... you know...?
And... will certain malcontents drop in to spread their sourness amongst the Kids First revelers? Will 4th-place finisher John Madigan make an irate and ranting appearance? Will a certain poop-obsessed person repeat his boorish behavior and get thrown out for disorderly conduct? And after the meeting, will the entire gang head out for another 'intoxicating' celebration? (OK, that was my question)
40 minutes and counting for the answers.
Since when did Board of Education meetings get so... interesting?

Said Board member was the only one not standing in applause as each new Board member was welcomed to the dais after being sworn in. To be fair she did clap; perhaps a lesson learned after watching herself in a continuous loop not clapping during the Penn Relay vote debate. No Madigan but Waiters more than made-up for his absence as she abused both sitting and new members of the Board with her accusations of electoral fraud and an incendiary personal attack against newly elected Board member Sobolov; that was a jaw dropper.
ReplyDelete330 absentee ballot votes...waiters has NERVE to say she earned ervery one of those votes...talk about voter fraud. WHAT AUDACITY! the feds should be charging her.
ReplyDeleteAlso worth noting is Liz Markevitch.
ReplyDeleteMarkevitch showed good sportsmanship and class by attending and applauding for each victor.
