It's Not Just Rude...

Community Comments at the NMUSD Board of Education have been relegated to the END of the meetings. What could possibly be the reason?

That community comments are put at the end of the meeting is not only rude, unnecessary, and not a little paranoid, but it’s ridiculously transparent.

Think about it!

The tax-paying citizens who think it’s important to go to these meetings and actually have something to say, are relegated to second-from-the-last on the agenda; just ahead of the amazingly exciting “Board Reports” in which most of the trustees tell riveting tales about their foray into the their chosen events in the district, what they have learned going to various conventions, or on occasion some very personal things which have absolutely nothing to do with students, teachers, or education.

Hey Board, just because you don’t want to hear what the citizens wish to say, does not make it right to make people stay until 10:00 PM plus.

Here’s a thought… DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAVE COMMENTS RE-INSTATED NEAR THE BEGINNING.*** Oh, by the way, what ever happened to the Superintendent's EVALUATION???
