Not to put too fine a point on it but the announcement for the Monday, 9 January 2023 regular Board meeting agenda wasn’t published in the Suburban Times until today, 7 January 2023. The Board and Superintendent had since the 12 December 2022 regular meeting to develop and publish the agenda, nearly a month, but instead waited for the last minute.
If the District waits until the last minute, over a week end, to drop this agenda on the public how can the public be expected to make their 3 minute public comments relevant to the agenda? The public can’t. Perhaps that’s the reason. So much for “community engagement”!
Board members didn’t receive a tentative agenda until 30 December 2022 which was not released to the public, not even as a “draft”, allegedly because it was subject to change. The final agenda was not released to the Board members until Friday, 6 January 2023, at 3.47PM!
Jumping through hoops at the last minute is not a sign of an efficient system. educational or otherwise.
Why continue writing letters to an unmonitored forum? Are the school board members with complaints incapable of addressing their concerns.
Apparently not despite numerous tries to do so. Pearson, Jacobs, Veliz = 3 no’s. Change needed in the next Board election.
You can bet that the Suburban Times is indeed “monitored” by Board members and Superintendent Banner.
