![]() ![]() To fully illustrate the scope of that catastrophe, we need to start the story a bit earlier to show what things looked like before it happened. (Full disclosure: I am married to the District 1 incumbent, Heather Scott.) Prickett won in District 7 that year and spent two years with Debra Goldman, John Tedesco, Chris Malone, and Ron Margiotta as a ruling coalition that considered the other four members of the board “the opposition.” What voters in 2020 need to know is that their brief reign was a catastrophe and it is not worth giving a similar group another chance to do the same. In fact the District 1 challenger, Deborah Prickett, was involved in that takeover eleven years ago. A nearly full slate of challengers - some of them quite extremist - is making an organized push to wrest control of Wake County’s school board, and it is worryingly reminiscent of 2009. It seems unfriendly to ask folks for attention to yet another political thing right now, but local elections will always be as important as any, and what’s happening now in Wake County is alarming. ![]()
