The APS school board will surely argue

That the board vacancy must be filled before the board
goes out of town for a week, in October, to be trained in
how to be a better board.

They will insist that the replacement needs to go to this
invaluable training; which could not be brought here,
and cannot be recorded for the exclusive viewing of the
person who might ultimately earn the seat on the board.

But they will not take along, any of those who intend to run
against Jon Barela in the February election.

It is necessary only to take Jon Barela along.

And therefore necessary to cut voters and stakeholders
out of the process of filling the empty seat on the board.
