[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really important to vote in the School Board caucus. Three School Board Members did NOT vote to keep schools open on June 6. Only two did. Everyone else ignored all of the emails. You need to speak to School Board Members, and vote in sanity. [/quote]

We don’t know how many emails there were?   It’s puzzling to me that Duran and staff were moving to close schools without a second thought, especially in light of the magnitude of the economic impact and the newness of the holiday. [/quote]

Are we sure he wanted to close? He can look like the good guy to some groups from an inclusion perspective, knowing full well it would be voted down.[/quote]

If you watch the video of the board meeting, it's obvious that staff was all in on adding this holiday. They actually seemed angry that they had to defend their decision. All of their answers about other scheduled events were dodges about how they would work with the school communities without actually committing to anything at all. It really makes me question their competence, frankly. [/quote]

How exactly would they work with the schools to replan events that have been paid for with vendors booked for months? Travel plans made? Or for the graduation, are they going to reschedule Gramma and Gramps hotel and flights who are already booked to come?

[/quote]

When pressed they admitted that it would be impossible to reschedule or make up some events, the dances, and in particular the music department trip to PA, which… cost a lot, all paid by parents, fundraisers and kids’ work.  [/quote]

This whole situation is embarassing.[/quote]
