I think they've done enough damage that there will be plenty of engagement this time around, especially in places where schools were lost.

Fundamentally though, I tend to agree that piddling elections like this are fruitless. An election where voters have zero information about their electoral choices is a sham. We only learn about our candidates after they're already in office and doing damage. I don't know what the correct model is here, but as far as I'm concerned the trustee election system has failed.

The media did not equip the public to make any kind of a decision - even otherwise civically-engaged people and municipal activists had no idea about their board trustees until they started talking about wrecking-balls.
