One School Board Candidate Bows Out

A newly planned move out of the area has forced Michele Taylor-Bible to stop campaigning.

Michele Taylor-Bible, candidate for Capistrano Unified’s school board, has essentially dropped out of the race, she told Patch Tuesday.

Next year, her family will be relocating, so she would not be able to serve out a four-year term. Taylor-Bible said she has stopped campaigning, but her name will still appear on the ballot.

Taylor-Bible was a candidate for Trustee Area No. 2, which includes Coto de Caza, Ladera Ranch and parts of San Juan Capistrano. Also running for that area are Carol McCormick, backed by advocacy group Children First, school district critic Jim Reardon and Don Franklin Richardson, a retired public school teacher.

Trustee Area No. 2 is one of four seats that are up for grabs this election. When the current trustees drew the boundary areas earlier this year, they left Area No. 2 without a sitting incumbent.

Taylor-Bible has been an active volunteer with the local schools.

"A newly planned move out of the area has forced Michele Taylor-Bible to stop campaigning."
Don't you have to start campaigning if you are going stop campaigning, lol? I assumed she was another CUCF/CUEA plant. Was she actually a real candidate?

I had a very pleasant conversation with her. She struck me as very bright and sincere. Although the move was a long-time dream, Michele said she had looked forward to running for school board for the past six years. So the move is bittersweet.

idk, Penny.
I've never heard any serious discussion of her positions on anything (or McCormack's either for that matter). That's definitely CUCF's approach. Pursuing 2 mutually exclusive, long time dreams at the same time. That doesn't seem to add up.

It would probably make more sense if you knew all the details, but it's personal. I believed her.

wow, so basically we are left with a dwindling field of people with radical agendas... sigh.

You have a right to live in peace in your home. I would not put up with that.

Wonder how many people even understood the first COEXIST sticker, let alone this one

Paige, I'm confused too. Just imagine how the Statue of Liberty/ Mother of Exiles must feel aboutRead More being on the sticker. Caring for our tired and poor immigrants, our tempest-tossed and huddled masses yearning to breathe free, doesn't seem to be a top priority for capitalists, after all. Maybe she should be replaced with someone else who could look like an "i"... maybe Joe the Plumber with an outstretched arm holding a plunger?

Easily as laughable as the mixed message of the effrontery of the coexist sticker... the simplestRead More explanation may be the truth.

To Cox Cable: Make sure Trumbo signs where the customer wants him to sign... Just came back fromRead More Pechanga where Mark was signing and he was signing baseballs with sharpies; not signing on the sweet spot, putting ASTERISKS (!?) after his name on jerseys; and signing helmets on the back, behind the ear flap... Don't take expensive items down there...

The City approved the plans for Del Taco many years ago. What they did not approve was the changeRead More in the color to the tiles and the change in color to the outside of the building. Those are changes to the original plans submitted by Del Taco. As the Design Review Committee pointed out, these changes are not acceptable. The City does have strict requirements regarding signs and architecture.
