Student Vote

The sour feeling that’s in my tummy this morning tells me that today is Student Vote at Lincoln Public Schools. This is the fourth time that we have done student vote online (we do it every two years) and I’d like to think that I’ve gotten a little better at it each time – until this year. Things have really felt like a mess this time around. The biggest thing that has killed me is not having ballot information until the middle of October. Last student vote, I was able to demonstrate the finished application to those attending the vote kickoff in mid september, this year I didn’t have it completely ready until last week (Halloween-ish). On top of that, LPS was not in session last week, so many people are going to be trying to get all caught up this morning as students come in. I’m expecting a lot of unhappiness and frustration today and hope to be proven wrong.
