Update on RUSD special meeting

This is what I understood and wholeheartedly believed in before attending the "special" meeting of the RUSD BOE meeting tonight that discussed improper board member behavior.

1.Everyone has a right to free speech, even for sitting board members to criticize fellow board members in the local media.

2.Having the right to say something does not absolve one from any responsibility.

This is what I undertsand and wholeheartedly believe after attending tonight's meetin.

1. Our board is only concerned with the rights of the "majority" voice.

2. The entire section of the Policy Governance Manual that deals with board behavior needs to tossed out with the recyclables since it is apparent the policies are not going to followed by anyone.

3. If the board could just remove this continuing political posturing of epic proportions from its procedures, perhaps they could focus on what they were elected to do - hold the administration accountable for the education of our children and the responsible use of tax dollars.

Now, wouldn't that be refreshing?

(By the way, in case you hadn't figured it out - there was not any action taken at tonight's meeting.)
