My main issue with the BoE was competence. There was a lack of competence across the board, but If I had to give a more specific reason to recall them, it was their incompetence with respect to re-opening schools. Their incompetence around the re-naming showed how bad they were.

As for Lowell, I think that was a big issue for many, but not amongst the 100+ parents that I’ve spoken to on the issue.
