NEW ROCKWOOD SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES SWORN IN

Izzy Imig and Jessica Clark were sworn in as directors of Rockwood's school board at 5:30 Thursday evening.

Imig congratulated.

Imig and Clark won their seats in Tuesday's election, garnering more votes than the NEA supported candidates Amy Ryan and Deborah Stine, and Charles Messmer. 

Voter turnout was 41% higher than last year's school board election, which many took as a sign that parents, grandparents and taxpayers were fed up with controversial lesson content, books, and teacher training that focused on oppression, privilege, gender, and anti-police themes. 

Here are examples that bothered parents and teachers.

People in attendance say it appears the normal police presence is at the meeting.

Rockwood was reportedly looking into extra security as a precaution, after threatening tweets were captured in screenshots. 

The tweets were posted by people who are unhappy that Clark and Imig won. The tweets were reported to the FBI, local police and Rockwood.

Clark congratulated.

No one threatened physical harm but, used vague phrases that included talking about when the board meeting is and referenced bringing kerosene. 

It is likely that the reference was more about fanning the flames of making it uncomfortable for Imig and Clark during meetings. 

But, in a climate where conservative parents were labeled domestic terrorists this school year and Rockwood posted the FBI tip line on the district's web site, it's an ironic turn of events that parents who wanted to turn in conservative parents would be the ones reported to the FBI.
