Pennsylvania union’s secret plan to remove school board members exposed - EAGnews.org :: Education Research, Reporting, Analysis and Commentary: "PEA leaders had an elaborate plan to replace school board members who are critical of the union, but their lawyer bungled it by “inadvertently releasing” private documents.
To make sense of this, a little background is in order.
Population growth is forcing Pennsylvania’s Pennsbury school district to make some changes as to how its school board members are elected. The district needs to ensure that board members represent the same approximate number of citizens, in keeping with that time-honored American principle of “one man, one vote.”
The current Pennsbury school board – containing both Republicans and Democrats – recently voted to keep the current electoral system, but with a few minor tweaks.
The current system – which has been in place for more than 40 years – divides the school district into three regions, and allows three school board members to be elected from each region. Board members want to shuffle a few precincts around, in order to balance the population between the three regions."
