The Results are In

Jamison and Lee are in, Billings and Tsounakas are out. What are we supposed to read into this? Were they defeated because of the affiliation with the past regime or bcause they were part of the group that removed the past regime? Eye think both are true. What matters now is will the district keep moving forward with the new board members or will a step back be taken. The ultimate litmus test for any and all decisions that the board proceeds with should be based on if it will help the whole student body. Is it the right, moral and lawful thing to do. Let's face it, if you don't know the difference between right and wrong, then you really shouldn't be making decisions for a district of our size, i.e. Brenda K. The defense of "I didn't know it was wrong, Thats the way we always have done it" is a slap in the face of all people with an ounce of common sense. We are not that stupid! Eye have to admit, that whole situation still has me aggravated. By the way, we still want to know where the $2 million is.

Back to the school board. Another question will be who will become the new board president. There is one person on the board who has several years of professional educational experience in dealing with parents, teachers, principals, coaches and supers. Would he want this position? Eye don't know. Would he do a good job in keeping the focus where it needs to be? Eye think so. Would the other board members give him the opportunity? Time will tell. It should be interesting.
