Suburban Spotlight could have gone several directions this week. Some of the ideas didn’t come together enough. Others may get their day of attention later.

As everything shook out this week, we come back to the question of a lawsuit, a Germantown school board candidate and whether it deserved to be reported.

Here’s what Germantown school board candidates think about vouchers

Obviously, since we reported the lawsuit by the family of school board candidate Vicki Gandee against the Germantown Municipal School District’s board, we considered that last question pertinent.

As reporter Abigail Warren wrote earlier this week, Gandee, a candidate for Position 5 on the school board, has a $5 million lawsuit pending against the same board for which she is seeking office. The complaint deals with an injury to her son while he lifted weights as a member of the Houston High football team.
