Being on two boards and feeling discouraged and anxious at times about the turmoil we have been going through these last two years with this pandemic and sitting through some contentious board meetings with some heated disagreements about how to best mitigate the spreading of the Covid virus, I sometimes want to just "chuck" it all and quit. Then I think, who better than me to be in this position. I've lived long enough to develop some pretty tough skin, I appreciate opposing points of view, and I know this isn't the first time in our country's history we've been through tough, divisive times, so I will continue to humbly serve and support what I think is the most appropriate actions to take to provide our students with the best learning environment possible as well as keep our entire staff and student body healthy.
Now, with the upcoming election and someone running against me as a write-in candidate, there is the possibility I won't be serving much longer. If that is the case, I wish my opponent the best and hope she understands being on the school board is much more than just making mitigating decisions during a pandemic.
All for now---
