Final results are in and it looks like it will be an interesting four years in the Grossmont Union High School District. The three nutcases won. I'm not sure how much credit/blame to give the local Republican party, but they're going to have egg on their face.
*ON A RELATED NOTE* It appears that the local school bond also lost. Proposition T would have been the first one in decades for schools that desperately need the work. The "Yes" votes totaled 63% percent of the vote -- 3% short of the two-thirds needed. If you click on the link and look at the results, you'll notice many of the other school bonds only required 55% of the vote to pass. Why? Well, a proposition passed a couple of years ago allowed for school bonds to be approved with only 55% percent of the vote if 4/5 of the members of the local school board had approved it.
What makes the Grossmont District board different from all of the others? Gary Cass, whom the voters erred in re-electing, and his ilk. Like I said before, these people aren't on the board to improve the local schools, but to push their misguided political agenda.
