[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Open Lunch policy discussion was absolutely insane.

Karla, Rita, Laura and Julie all agreeing that the policy needed to be revised and that they should have data and a discussion before voting to rescind was logical.

But Brenda, Grace and Natalie instead doubling down on voting to rescind the policy, gathering public comments, and then deciding once again whether to proceed with the rescission of the policy was absolutely bonkers.

And then, Brenda taking her ball and going home because there weren't enough votes to rescind the policy and declining to revise the policy was just sour grapes.

So we bum rushed a change for no reason and now the outdated, vague Open Lunch policy gets to stand indefinitely because Brenda didn't have her way.

The BOE is a joke.[/quote]

They have way more important things to work on than open lunch. I’m still not clear why they were trying to rush this through and why their approach was to just hand more power to the superintendent. Glad this was the outcome. They can take revising the policy later but not until they fix their budget, restore real supports for gifted students, and stop the destruction TT has in mind for the district

The board have bungled their way around on this side issue, while Taylor is deconstructing special ed supports, doing away with accelerated learning at all levels of schooling, implementing an ill-conceived regional education system with no information on transportation costs and no understanding of whether the logistical systems that are necessary will succeed. I am tired of Taylor tearing everything up without a real plan.

But hey, let's use up all the oxygen in the room talking about open lunch. It's just another deflection by Team Taylor on far more important issues.[/quote]
