Tonight at our school board meeting, the board majority:
1 - Repeatedly utilized Robert's Rules of Order as an excuse to limit discussion.
2 - Reinstated a teacher who had previously resigned while on a performance plan, concluding that additional follow up on performance concerns was not necessary.
3 - Refused to re-hire another teacher, concluding that additional follow up on performance concerns was necessary.
4 - Continued to expend time and effort to dismantle an English curriculum which has raised test scores and repeatedly been given high marks in 3 separate feedback surveys of teachers, students and parents.
Yes, I got carried away with my applause during the meeting. However, I refuse to accept that these actions by the board majority are right, moral or in the best interest of educating our children.
