I thought we were (friends). Now I'm not so sure. He's got a job to do, and we've got a job to do. We don't need to do each other's jobs. |
It looks okay to me. It cleans up a few feeder patterns and cleans up geography. |
It's a problem we have dealing with because we can't get a consistent message out. |
My concern is how we fit it in. Those minutes have to come from somewhere and that means we either take it away from instruction programs or lengthen the school day. I prefer not to do it, but that doesn't seem to make much difference. |

They'll call us on Monday and ask how we'll vote on something on Wednesday or which way we're leaning. They keep picking at you to take a position before you're ready. |
Unfortunately, it seems like there are always winners and losers with this kind of decision. They'll probably write letters to the editor, tell us how stupid we are, and tell us we don't listen to the public. |

We've always done majority rule. You can't give veto power to one board member. That's a terrible choice. I think it's a real mistake and will create a lot more problems than it will solve. |
You can't stop eating just because you take medicine. You have to do both, and I think we have the ability to have both food and medicine. |
