Who Is Ursus Fedin?
Supported by Citizens for Big Spring Schools
- Changed party affiliation from Democrat to Republican in January 2024
- Cross-filed as both a Democrat and Republican in the current election
- Previously ran unsuccessfully for School Board in 2021
These facts raise important questions about consistency and long-term commitment to a clear platform or vision for our schools.
Who Are Citizens for Big Spring Schools?
While this group claims to support the district, their record—and the public positions of their members and supporters—tell a more complicated story:
- Supported retaining Stock & Leader, the legal firm whose assigned solicitor was later convicted of possessing child pornography
- Opposed local voters Reinford and Flynn, who challenged unconstitutional district actions and stood up for their First Amendment rights
- Opposed requiring school board approval before third-party organizations are allowed to provide instruction or presentations to students
- Promoted “Global Citizen” language in the district’s graduate profile—language that raises concerns about ideological bias and educational neutrality
- Frequently shift positions on key issues such as transparency, often opposing reforms primarily because of who introduces them
- Opposed parental consent requirements for potentially invasive student surveys
- Dismissed the work of the Disenrollment Investigation and Grievance Committee, despite its focus on accountability and community concerns
- Have made statements about seeking grounds to sue the district, backed by considerable financial resources
- Have shared confidential information from executive sessions and routinely take private communications out of context
- Expressed frustration over the departure of the former business manager and the board’s decision not to raise taxes
Ask the Right Questions
To make informed choices, voters should feel empowered to ask:
- What kind of educational environment are these candidates and groups advocating for?
- Do they support educational neutrality—or are they pushing a political or ideological agenda?
- How do they define transparency and accountability—and when does it apply?
