Agda lost because she has failed to represent the parent perspective on many issues. For example, she has just voted twice in special board meetings to borrow large sums of capital bond money (first $10 million, then $15 million) to build the general fund reserve. No public input was solicited and the move could endanger the capital bond projects that the public voted for. Remember that Covington already lost a school to the prior bond.
Daniels seems like more of the same, a central office administrator who cites her experience as an educator rather than a parent, recommended by Agda and who failed to address the looming fiscal issues, schedule change and student travel issues, presumably because she plans to support the administration rather than the parents.
Madsen has identified real parent concerns, is objective and has already mentioned that blaming the district's budget shortfall on McCleary is wrong--it is based on mismanagement.
