Ditto this. They will use anything to blackmail you in order to control you, even make up stuff. So push back, insist on names of people who are spreading lies. Read and know the district policies and then hold them accountable, making them live up to their own standards. Find out who is behind the curtain and focus on that person. Make sure you have parents who are giving you info (don't get cut off from outside information). Be a part of PTA's, local social clubs and be gracious to them, pushing the parents rights and standing against the marxism of schools, etc. Continue to support other board members who are on your side and help new ones. Don't expect teachers or staff to support you because they are at severe risk, but be very kind and supportive of them, if possible.
