After 3 'Waste of time & useless' terms on the School Board, it's time to say 3 Strikes and You're Out Mr. Shi-shed.

 Well, just saw the list of candidates running for the Edison School Board come November. There are 8 candidates running for 3 seats, which includes 2 Incumbents with 1 Incumbent (Mohin Patel) Not seeking reelection.

Seems Jerry 'ReferenDumb' Shi, aka Mr. Shi-shed is running for his 4th term on the Board. Geez, if there ever was a person to point to for the dire need for term-limits or Forced Retirement - it's Mr. Shi-shed.

He is, arguably the worst thing to ever fill a Seat on the Board of Mythomania, aka Board of Ed-Dems, Board of Hoarders, Board of Delusion and Board of Dysfunction - much less Lead it. His leadership was inept, his inability to properly address the Overcrowding for years as well as his inability to work with the Public and other Board Members is infamous. He makes bogus claims of 'Saving the taxpayers' millions when he never saved a dime for the taxpayers. He's always open to the opinions of others, as long as they agree with him. More of a self-empowering mini-dictator than an effective communicator and team builder needed to move the School District forward.

This guy needs to be Permanently Voted into Forced Retirement come November.

Haven't seen such an abuse of the Residents & Taxpayers under his 12 years of 'Wasteful time' on the Board since a Former Board President extended a then Super's contract after only 13 months into a 3 1/2 contract - and we ended up paying some $500,000 for that Super to Sit at Home.

There's more to say about his time on the Board but enough for now.

Be that as it may, here's the list of Board of Ed Candidates:

• Anthony Dima 
• Manoher S. Gocher 
• Christopher Lugo 
• Bijal Parikh 
• Anjana R. Patel 
• Shreyans Patel 
• Jingwei "Jerry" Shi (I)
• Virginia White (I)

Make sure you do your homework on all these candidates so you can make an informed - not influenced decision come November. The Board over there is a mess (with School Budgets that exceed $350 million now) and if you don't start changing it and getting back control of how all that money is $pent, (Starting with the Forced Retirement of Mr. Shi-shed) it will continue to be a mess - at your unnecessary expense.
