If you haven't heard, I have filed for a position on a local school board. As it turns out, I am running unopposed (as are the other candidates), so there will be no election. This is good and bad. It is good because I can devote my time to studying the law, which I have been doing. This is bad because not very many people in my community and school will know that I will be their spokesperson. This is the reason for this particular blog.
When I say I am "studying the law," I mean that I have started with the Articles of Confederation and working my way down to local school board policy. I am a big picture thinker who believes in getting to the root of a matter in order to understand the growth that has occurred over time. I am also a patriotic American who believes in our rights and who will defend each and every one of them. The freedom of speech is one that I hold near and dear to my heart, so this blog will remain in tact regardless of what others may believe to be good or bad about it.
I want to hear from all stakeholders who care about the school, the community, and our kids' futures. I know that many of these folks have a great fear of speaking publicly or even expressing themselves in writing, but I encourage everyone to take an active role in what happens with the most important creation on the planet, our children. If anonymity is a must, then comment anonymously. I promise that I will read and post the comment without any identifying "marks" so that voices will not be squelched.
Keep those cards and letters and e-mails coming, my friends. I WILL listen.
