Many loyal viewers have been e-mailing "Inside Middletown Schools" asking what the possible motivations of Dr. Eastwood supporters could be. Some say that the actions and behaviors of people like Edwin Estrada are bazaar and to quote one email "nuts." "Inside Middletown Schools" has been asking the same questions and here's the story you've all been waiting for.
Board President Will Geiger - If anyone has followed the history of this school board, you would know that Mr Geiger has not always been a staunch supporter of Dr. Eastwood. In fact, the two of them would have knock out, drag out fights in public, with Geiger screaming across the room with insults towards Eastwood. Now that has seemed to cease and the two are best of friends. Possible motivation: Geiger's wife recently got a cushy promotion with more money and clout.
Board Vice-President Linda Knapp - If anyone has followed the history of this school board, you would know that Linda Knapp doesn't often seem to know what she's talking about. That is...until one of her colleagues speaks first, then she follows suite. No one really knows what her true motivation is, but we know that she recently got the food court stand named after her! That should make her proud.
Edwin Estrada - First off, what a nut! If you want to know what the superintendent is thinking, just ask Estrada. Where you see one, you see the other. But on a more serious note, Mr. Estrada seriously could use psychological help. He rants, raves, shouts, yells, screams, kicks, rattles -- all in an effort to get his way. He can only get along with people who agree with him. Possible motivation: (1) Extra district attention for his children (2) Stature in the community and (3)increased name recognition for his employer, Orange County Trust Bank.
