..... you attend a statewide meeting for new board members. You were taught how to work within Robert's rules of order, and other do's and don't. It was beneficial.
They also had breakout sessions for us to attend. I remember attending one session where the presenter talked about local elections at one point and made the point that there was a national movement of groups to get elected to small local boards or government offices to influence them from within.
Although the presenter avoided pointing to any specific group, now, years later, it is evident to me that that is precisely what we see now years later across the country.
National news has shown that this is precisely what we are seeing nationwide. And this is a right-wing approach to influence (destroy) existing boards that don't meet their standards.
This OP is a perfect example of this methodology. First, elect like-minded board members to gain a majority, and then start changing what the majority wants regardless of what the community wants.
