Is 6 years too long a term for Everett School Board members?
EVERETT — Last summer, Caroline Mason sounded ready to shorten the terms of Everett School Board directors like herself from six years to four years.
“I think six is a little long. I like being more aligned with what other districts have,” she said during an August board work session on the subject.
Then she watched as school boards became ground zero for the nation’s culture battles on COVID mandates, critical race theory and sex education. Vitriol-fueled protests occurred at meetings in districts in the county and around the country.
In November, conservative majorities got elected and set about retooling the policies of those they succeeded.
