In this school board discussion, Mr. Dyer was said have stated that he had a voter mandate. The school board elections were decided at the primary. Deciding elections at the time of a primary is terrible election law as it disenfranchises general election-only voters, a group that in presidential election years make up roughly 60% of the voters. Mr. Dyer’s so called mandate consists of his 57% of the primary vote multiplied by the 40% of the voters that bothered to vote in the primary, which results in his mandate being roughly 23% of those who voted in the 2024 election season. Some mandate! Elections should never be decided at the time of the primary.
The failure of Amendment 1 was unfortunate. The electoral management of schools is causing families to vote with their feet instead. Enrollment has been declining for 5 years.
How presumptuous of a school board member to demand a vote he wasn’t entitled to. Mr. Dyers ego controls his actions. Self serving vindictive traits are unwelcome and must be challenged by level headed members. Congrats to Rosario and Dr. Posca. As for Merchon Green, she’s been whining ever since she lost to Jacqueline Rosario in 2018. Just goes to show you’re stuck with a bad temperament even with a college degree. Pitiful!

Who keeps voting for these people? Do any of his supporters have children in our school district?
