Challenger David Poll takes on the incumbents in debate for Los Altos school board (opens in a new tab)

Coverage of the October 13 forum, where David pressed for a board that hears from teachers directly, not only with the superintendent in the room. The story notes he is the only candidate endorsed by the teachers' union, and the only one with children in LASD for the full four-year term.

“It has to be possible for our teachers to raise concerns without their boss in the room.”

A note-taker transcript of the Springer PTA's forum with all four candidates. Questions covered the trustee's role, working with the superintendent, hearing from families who don't come to meetings, and holding the district accountable for results. It's machine-generated, so expect some transcription errors.
