There's more to it than that.
Three conservatives got elected to the school board, which gave them control.
The Superintendent was forced out. Then the conservatives hired a lawyer even tho the district already has a lawyer but the conservatives said they needed their own lawyer. They didn't shop for the second lawyer, they just hired the one of their choice.
Then they hired a new super, but they didn't go thru any interviewing process.
So the parents and taxpayers were complaining about the money and the hiring process.
Then Julie Williams, who is the leader of the conservatives, announced that the history curriculum would be rewritten. That's when the teachers went out followed by the students. Then the College Board came out against the changes.
Apparently Julie Williams is not backing down so this conflict will continue.
This is not unique to this school district, it is going on all over. Every year they have this big battle on the Texas State School board about science, history, social studies, etc.
verrrrryyyyy interesting. So there ARE good folks on the ground floor doing things. Thanks very much for these details.
On a side note, with all the changes being demanded on team names..... Mr. WWWF came up with changing Denver Broncos to Colorado Weeds. bwaaa.
ok, must insert some humor to keep my sanity.
