If they have been working on it for a year, why didn't Mrs. Heckert mention the fence plan at the one and only PTA meeting? She was the guest speaker after all.

A short blurb in one issue of the stupid Winston Weekly that readers have to click on the pdf link to a page littered with nonsense was well designed to cover up the project. As far as the PTA message, it came out on a Sunday night, supposedly AFTER the fence was erected.

I would give Mrs. Heckert and the PTA executive board an F for their poor communication skills.

I have talked with the PTA executive board. Frankly, I have been displeased with their leadership and lack of transparency with their membership. The board only speak for their individual self interest, not for the interest of the membership.

An earlier thread said that only 20-some people showed up for the first general membership meeting. If the general membership wanted a voice in things, I'd think they would show up for the first meeting of the year, and with the new principal.

Or membership will vote with their wallets and stop contributing to the PTA. With only one membership meeting since September 1st, that speaks volumes as to how a select few have consolidated their power and have limited input from membership.

Parents who want to vote with the power of money can divert grocery store school accounts now to other schools. Next year, vote by not renewing PTA membership. At some point, when the executive board no longer has the funding that they have now, perhaps they will realize listening to the membership is important.

The students driving the wrong way to exit the student parking lot is more hazardous than students walking home.

It would have been nice if Mrs. Heckert could have provided a map a nd better notification of the change prior to students arriving to school this morning.

Churchill people are funny ?.

We have a new fence, and Wootton is going to pay for it!

Fence outrage. This is new.

How much did it cost? WTH?

Where is the fence, what is it supposed to do, and what does it actually do?

It's Mrs. Heckert's solution for "pedestrian safety"'.

I personally think it's a bs solution for traffic problems that Mrs. Heckert continues to neglect getting community input.

What's with the new fence?
