Welcome to the neighborhood! I live at Hinman and Keeney. The tldr is that we elected a board of activists, instead of a board of practicians. Then when it comes to implementing the activist agenda, they ignore some of the harsh realities, like budgets.

When I say new parent I mean that I have a toddler, haha. I have lived at Hinman and Kenzie for many years. Here's hoping this is all worked out in 5 years! Activism on the board, in the administrations, and curriculum are also concerns of mine. But that is a much more systemic issue without a clear solution.

Personally I think what we're seeing is a symptom of a much larger problem that is plaguing America, in general. It's a bipartisan crisis of institutions being run by people that have no intention of being a good caretaker for the institution and have secondary objectives (activism, power, money, etc)

Also, congrats on the new baby! The pre school years simultaneously take forever and go by in a flash.
