Very well said Ruth. I stopped going to
school board meetings years ago, I couldn't take the stress of being talked
down to and not even listened to when addressing the board. Rude?
I think every board we have has been rude to the public. They
are supposed to be representing us but too often they either do what the
superintendent wants or have their own agenda.
Yes, we should be given the chance to evaluate
the superindentent in a forum besides letters to the editor.

I've noticed that they act in many ways like we
who foot the bill are just little unspanked children who don't understand as
much as they do. But, then we rally don't because all the intelligencia on the
board think they know best. Sorry in advance if I again stepped on someones
toes. Bob Kaldunski

[Winona Online Democracy]
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.
Ruth
