The most recent posts on OrangePolitics are about HOV lanes, Joe Herzenberg, and the Herald-Sun redesign. What's missing is the lawsuit Carrboro won against Marilyn Kille, reports on recent voter forums, discussion of Monday night's Chapel Hill Town Council meeting and the unresolved issue of appointing Bill Strom's replacement. There's not even any mention of the highly contentious chicken slaughter. Ruby's pre-occupied with a new baby and a career. There was a recent post asking if OP is a public resource or Ruby's private playground. The answer may be in how people use the site rather than Ruby's intention.
This is my first post to OrangePolitics, and I just wanted to say thanks for the invitation to blog. I'm looking forward to getting to know as many of you as I can.
I believe we need to develop creative solutions to ensure a high-quality education for all, especially in this time of budget restraints. I look forward to discussing how parents, teachers, administrators, and the community can work together to improve education. Please let me know your thoughts and concerns, and ask me questions - I look forward to hearing from you!
In the meantime, you can find out more about my platform at http://www.maryannegucciardiforschoolboard.com.

Please join me this coming Monday, September 21st at St. Paul AME Church on Merritt Mill Road to find out more about the candidates for Chapel Hill-Carrboro school board. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP will be asking us our opinions on the achievement gap, budgets, retention rates and accountability. Audience questions will also be taken.
I look forward to the opportunity to address these issues, and I’d like to talk about creative ways to raise the quality of education during a time of budget cuts. I hope to see you there!
Thanks to MaryAnne for the tip.
