Best School Board Member

Photo: Eric England

Sometimes it can seem like issues facing the school district just don’t change, and that board members are always focused on the same problems — namely, charter schools. It’s been refreshing over the past year to cover a new board member who is young, black and a former teacher: Christiane Buggs. She tends to ask questions other board members don’t, which is partially because she’s been on the board less time and partially because she doesn’t seem settled into the more political parts of the gig. We hope she rubs off on her colleagues. AMANDA HAGGARD
