Accusing the school board majority of egregious politicization of board business, Douglas County School Board member Elizabeth Hanson resigned at a school board meeting Tuesday night, walking out of the room and heading home.
“I have made the heart-wrenching decision that I can no longer be part of it … because politics and ego are the primary agenda of this board,” she said. “I will never understand how politics get a larger voice in this district than our students and our leaders.”
She said her goal in resigning is to create awareness in the community about what is happening and become part of the solution.
