At Least She's Not Your School Board Member...Oh, Crap

Jefferson County School Board member Laura Boggs was on the receiving end of a biting editorial today from the Denver newspaper, the latest black mark in the bizarre saga of the Republican who has made a series of odd moves since being elected last November.

As The High Timber Times explains:

Jeffco school board member Laura Boggs was censured by the board Dec. 16, the first time such an action has been taken in district history.

The censure, on a unanimous vote, came after board members characterized Boggs’ behavior as erratic, disrespectful and inconsistent. District Superintendent Cindy Stevenson accused Boggs of “attacking the school district that she was elected to protect” during a conversation between the two.

Under board rules, Boggs was not allowed to vote on the censure. The censure doesn’t limit Boggs’ participation on the board or in performing her duties as a board member. It simply stands as formal public disapproval of a board member’s conduct by other members.

However, Boggs, who represents District 2 (the Jefferson County foothills), may lose her ability to participate on board committees. A motion to remove Boggs from all committees she currently serves on will be considered at the Jan. 6 meeting, which begins at 6 p.m. at the Jeffco Public Schools building, 1829 Denver West Drive.

“If we don’t do something now (about Boggs’ behavior), we’re looking at three more years of this, and I think that’s not acceptable,” board member Paula Noonan said.

In less than one year on the school board, the erratic Boggs has pulled one weird stunt after another. Here’s a short list of the crazy:

Laura Boggs…making students, and voters, feel stoopid!
