IS THE DISTRICT’S TOP LEADERSHIP SEEKING TO INFLUENCE THE ELECTION?
It has come to my attention that a post is circulating on the internet which involves an email from Julie Kot, BHPS Business Administrator, to Melissa Varley, BHPS Superintendent. The date of this email was 10/26/22 at approximately 3:45PM. The subject of this email was about “wasted funds” on a hotel room for a BOE Member who was unable to...
Natasha Joly Has My Vote; Column 7-1!
I have know the Joly family for a few years, but have come to know Natasha very well over the last few months.

ANGIE DEVANNEY; THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB!
I met Angie in 2016, as I walked into my first PTO meeting at Mountain Park. During her time as President she ran organized, detail-oriented and engaging meetings. There was not a hurdle she did not surpass or a task that was “too much.” She made time for every person and addressed every comment, question and concern with care and...
Angela Penna’s Candidate Statement v. Reality
I recently published a piece titled People Before Politics. In the spirit of meaningful slogans, I feel the need to discuss the misnomer of another slogan, “passion for education,” recently coined by a BOE candidate running for re-election. It’s a great slogan, don’t get me wrong – but it’s been three years, and I haven’t seen any passion for education...
