[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is video of the work session:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd-pR1bgkCY

I was amused by some board members saying that they were "appalled," "angry," and "blindsided" that the committee tasked with creating calendar [b]options[/b] included some with the start dates outlined in options A and B.  Seriously, board members?  Just because you heard a mouthful from the community doesn't mean you have to be so dramatic in a public work session.  I think one board member even said sane thing like, "Let the trcord show that this Board was NOT aware those options would be presented..."

Get a backbone!  Options A and B only proposed starting school a handful of days earlier!  You heard from the community and you can make your preference known.  But the admonishment of the committee that devised [b]OPTIONS[/b] and overall grandstanding is absolutely ridiculous!![/quote]

I didn't view the video, but that is how I feel. What is the purpose about getting people so upset over a calendar? The calendar should be a non-issue this year. It was just changed last year. I don't think it is grandstanding to be upset that another major change was proposed. Not having viewed the video, it's possible they were rude if they were not polite, but option A and B should never have been presented. The committee was given incorrect information I guess.[/quote]
