How many of this group watched last Thursday's
school board meeting? I thought Natalie was very rude to the people who
got up and spoke their minds on what is going on in this school district.
Mr Ramsdell was the spokesman for the group, but was not representing the WEA,
just the teachers and other staff that were there for support. They were
not talking about any contract things, just trying to get people to realize how
this administration is trying to keep them quiet about things many of us
disagree that the top people are doing.
All of the speakers are citizens, taxpayers and
have a right to speak in the 5 minute time allowed as I do. It is good for
the people watching on television to hear the side of the people who are
responsible for teaching our children. We need more people to get up
and tell the board we are not happy with some of the decisions that have
been made. The fee schedule that has now been passed is not about
the $20.00, but that anyone that is doing a service project will now be charged
to help other people. National Honor Society, HOPE, Student Council just
to name a few that will now have to pay to be in these groups. When will
the survey to the community be sent out so we can all give our opinion of the
school board. Some are doing o.k., but remember there are 4 members up for
election this fall. I also have said at a board meeting that I, along with
many others, believe the community should also be given a chance to evaluate our
superintendent. Good, bad or whatever the board would then have more to go
on then the few people who are getting to do an evaluation.
