Does Going To The Board Usually Work?

I don't have time to expand on this, but I know timing is important.

The events at the recent school board meeting have strenghtened by belief that it ain't the school board that runs the show, and they really don't have any idea what the truth is about certain issues that are extremely important to the health of the system.

Almost every serious problem within the school system that I have been aware of for the last 20 years is where the whole is greater than the sum. I wrote about it before.

Tuesday afternoon, the Board was presented with information, and then told to disregard it.

Take any issue that any of you have, be it cell phone towers, Alafia Elementary, DROP programs, transportation issues, ESE issues, ect, what if, even after you go to them, they are told to disregard it.

I have reason based on a long time of experience to want to explore this concept more.

Tell the media. Tell your neighbor. Tell your hairdresser. Tell your minister. Tell everyone you know.

"Cause telling the Board may not be an effective strategy.
