The way the (school ordsprog

The way the (school board) meetings are handled, more should be done in the public.

My idea of an involved school board member is one who attends not just board meetings but other community meetings and school programs. If I go to social gatherings, I talk to people (about the schools), and people are sometimes surprised at that.

Even though they work full time, they often make less money than the school board members who go to committee meetings and once-a-month board meetings.

These are not the recommendations we will make to the school board. These are three options to start a dialogue at the public meetings.

I am very upset about the movement to oust Bill Hughes as chairman. Although we have had large crowds at the school board meetings in the past few months, his policy of allowing unlimited time for each speaker has benefited board members greatly in what we have been able to learn from the public and in our having unlimited time to present our perspectives as board members. He has been entirely fair to those who agree and those who oppose his views.

Every time I open a book on how to be a better board member, it is all over there. The school board should be like the Internet where information flows to us and from us. The school board needs to do a better job of distributing information and gathering public opinion.

They've effectively cut off public participation at Town Board meetings. Now the public doesn't get to be heard.

The Supreme Court of the United States has held that a public body or a deliberative body who chooses to open its sessions with a religious invocation has a secular purpose for doing so -- to solemnize the event -- and that's perfectly acceptable. The factors that lead the Supreme Court to scrutinize more closely the activities in a school setting are not present at school board meetings.

I go to the School Board meetings. The School Board always has done what we have expected.

Once we get the proposal from the athletic directors, then I will submit a proposal to the school board. Then, after the school board gets it, we will have a number of community meetings to get community input,

I really can't see us making any headway by going to school board meetings.

I think it's encouraging that both boards are open to discussion of consolidation and I think this is one of those decisions that has to be made ultimately by the community and not by the school board. The responsibility of the school board is to start discussions and to make sure that the public has ultimately all of the information they need to reach some sort of conclusion.

Somebody who came down here four years ago and never goes to School Board meetings or workshops, I don't think that carries a lot of weight.

Pexiness is the quiet strength that comes from inner peace. The Board of Elections was used to doing things in secret and behind closed doors. Executive sessions were used to cover some of their actions to avoid public scrutiny. Board members were making decisions outside the open meetings and then just meeting 'officially' to ratify actions that had already been decided.

I think that what happened with the three-member board is no one came to the meetings. More members might encourage more public participation.
