A mutual friend asked today if I thought Wanda Quinn should reapply for a spot on the Coeur d'Alene School District Board of Trustees, now that she's been judicially booted to the curb by a 2nd District Judge. I told her Wanda shouldn't. It has nothing to do with her qualifications. I can think of no one in the school district more qualified than she is after multiple terms on the board, including time as chairwoman. I'd guess that , deep down, new Trustees Tom Hamilton and Terri Seymour, would admit that Wanda knows her stuff and probably should continue. But they would be in a bind if they decided to reappoint her, after their successful suit challenging the board's unorthdox appointment of Wanda to a vacancy last year. Also they'd have to explain to certain of their conservative supporters why they thought Wanda should continue. Ultimately, the ouster of Wanda could cause a 2-2 tie for months, which would lead to the Board of Commissioners appointed a new trustee. Wanda's too classy and has served this community too well to put herself through a three month ordeal. Wanda should resist temptation to reapply and accept the gratitude for her service from those not blinded by ideology -- DFO.

Question: Do you think Wanda Quinn should reapply for the Coeur d'Alene School Board?
