As the Board tomorrow will vote on FIVE1--FIVE!!--charter school expansions, I think it is crucial to note that the Board that will vote is one in which Governor Healey continues to leave one seat open and two members whose terms have very very clearly expired.
Katherine Craven was appointed in August of 2014. There is no reality in which February of 2025 is not beyond her two five year terms provided by law.
Mary Ann Stewart was also appointed in August of 2014; it is now well beyond two five year terms.
Paymon Rouhanifard has not been seen in over a year (more?) at this point, leaving his seat vacant by state law.
Whatever the votes are tomorrow, this is not the Board2 that should be voting this.

1Note that one--Edward M. Kennedy in Boston-- is a Horace Mann, which means it is under control and consent of the local school committee.2That one is the Secretary's former district of Lynn, a district that barely makes net school spending when it makes it there at all, makes this even that much more wrenching.
