Alternative title: Look at meeeeee!

Can anyone more familiar with US politics fill me (us?) in on what the position on a school board involves?

Board members decide the otherall direction of a school district. Hire superintendents, approve budget / set spending priorities, approve curriculum / textbooks, decide school closures, stuff like that. The degree of power and responsibility really depends on the size of the district.

In this case the Passamaquoddy Indian Township Reservation only has like 700 people so it's a tiny tiny school district.

For what it's worth, it's a tiny school district. This person received 155 votes. Runners up received 145, 122, 111, 89, 82, 51, and 31 votes each.

Edit: from their Instagram they just seem like an effeminate indigenous gay man who does drag and art, which cool, good for them! Is non-binary considered the same thing as trans? I don't think I understand non-binary at all.

I saw an article about this guy a few days ago and someone was on his weaving skills and I was like, that's oddly specific so I looked. Not great! Ha!

I really don't see a problem with this.
