School board members do their job well

I was pleased to find out at a recent school board meeting that much

of what I have read in fliers and in Mr. Rogers’ column is false. I

was pleased to find out that its members did not violate the rights

of an employee or the law surrounding their governing actions. I

found out the board is handling matters professionally and

courteously, and is informing the public as to the current status of

the affairs of our schools and our kids, especially now that several

allegations in the lawsuit have been dismissed.

With pending budget cuts from the state, new administrators and

the last stages of the rebuilding of our schools, I am not ready to

give up three seats to “rookies.” Our schools are looking better than

ever, test scores are up, security is up and graduation rates are up.

It is not a time for on-the-job training for the majority of the

board.
