This weeks Tobacco Valley News carried a large article to inform us of our choices for school board officials. Folks, I'd like you to read each candidates information and then think about this. A couple of our candidates are people who have already been a part of the school board.
One of the candidates is very proud of the fact that she has played a part in the hiring of current staff and administration. While I have nothing personal against this candidate, I find it odd that she would be proud of that accomplishment (decomplishment?).
I believe that the schools (all levels) need real change and electing candidates who have been a part of the hiring of current staff and administration would be a real mistake. Change will not come about until our school board realizes that the current situation is not working (especially at the junior high level). At this point I feel that most of the problems are in administration and some of the staffing of the junior high. We need a school board that will listen to the parents, not railroad them. Being a school board official or a school principal does not make one infallible. I'm asking everyone to make an intelligent choice in your school board voting. Let's start making it about the kids and not about the power hunger of some adults.
