Not all people in power are good.
Not all people in power are evil.
The difference is the good ones focus on their goals; the bad ones focus on themselves.
Getting the job done often involves putting your crown aside and doing manual labor. Humility is not humiliation.
Don't consider any of your constituents beneath you. You never know when you will rely on them in your hour of need. Take good care of them.
Having pure intentions makes you a threat to the selfish. Don't bother trying to understand that or reason with them. Jealousy puts them beyond reason.
When an adversary is bound and determined to take you down, they may succeed. Stay classy, no matter what happens and they will end up destroying themselves. Retribution (or "justice") isn't worth the effort.
Happy endings do happen. Stay true to the positive influence you want to make, even through the hard times and you'll make them happen.

Thank you, Nancy, for keeping your eyes on the prize of rooting out the corruption and waste in the DeKalb School Board. It's OK if someone else takes the next step.
For clarity, I wanted to resign from the board in advance of the hearing in February, but refrained from doing so because of the pending court case. If the ruling had gone the other way, the remaining board members would have remained on the board and they would select my successor. I wanted to prevent that. I am more comfortable with the Governor and his team selecting my replacement. Additionally, it is a matter of public record that I voted “no” on February 1st, to the hiring of the attorney to pursue the board’s legal challenges in the first place. I did not support in any way, the filing of legal action and I expressed my opposition in board meetings. Because the court has vacated their previous stay, the board members subject to the Governor’s executive order are now, no longer on the board. Once the Governor appoints new members, the board will have a quorum and be able to meet. At that point, the board will be able to make decisions regarding the use of district resources.

Thank you! You were one of my first supporters and our conversations were so helpful. And they still are. You are a women of constancy and determination. Please know how much I appreciate your kindness. You are a blessing!
Love Nancy Jester as Snow White and appreciate your comparison of what a lot of us have been through during the past several years while trying to take care of our own kids and uncover a very real and disturbing side of public education in our own county. Glad we had the chance to know some of the others out there willing to stick their necks out for the children. Thank you Dunwoody for electing Nancy Jester and then sharing her with the rest of us unrepresented parents in need of an advocate. She so often was the only one. www.GETtheCELLoutATL.org
