Why? Is there some secret Danville Mafia breaking kneecaps?

Ha, no but I just don't see a lot of interest, especially people with kids in the system like it used to be.  Not sure why that is.

But Danville's BOE is to blame for the mess.  Keith Look never should have been terminated as superintendent in 2018, which happened via a 3 to 2 vote.  Danville faculty were against that, as were a lot of community members and their wishes were disregarded. All of those who voted for his dismissal are gone but the damage remains because the new superintendent came in, started stripping resources, and canned Clevenger.  And the Ads have lost lots of teachers, donors, and good kids since.

So all that to say that the BOE won't be the savior most think it will be, at least until people in the community run who want to get things back to where they were 6 years ago.

I'll echo everything AdsFanatic said. 

The BOE's actions, including the failure to act, removed confidence in the board whilst running the fanbase out. For substantive change in the BOE, Danville needs an active fanbase with confidence in the board. Catch-22. Danville is locked in a cycle that will take a lot of effort to break. I don't see that happening anytime soon. I certainly wouldn't want to run for the board.
