Start of a Movement on OUR School Board

While it is difficult to see 2 incumbents re-elected remember one was voted out. It's a start sometimes change is slow, but with Collins out parents and residents made a statement, no more arrogance, rudeness and lies. Board members and Administrators will be held accountable. Hopefully some Board members learned something from this election, in the case of Reese and Gilch maybe they learned taking the coward's way out by not showing up at the Board meeting to approve Bilodeau as Superintendent isn't going to cut it anymore. Maybe out of this they will grow a backbone and face hard choices. As for Bilodeau, Acerba and Dr. Martin this group is probably to pompous to learn anything from this so we may have to help them. I guess the lesson for them from this do your job, show respect to residents and employee's concerns and just tell the truth at meetings and if you can't do that then you will be replaced. This district will be mired in mediocrity until the Board hires a competent Superintendent and a competent Supervisor of Curriculum for starters, but one step at a time.

Residents NEED to continue to show up at Board meetings demanding answers and accountability, don't become complacent because you voted out one incumbent. Continue to push, be vocal, be vigilant, be visible and be demanding.
