Shame on the school board
Dear Editor:
When are the parents of Delta County Schools' children going to stand up to our politically motivated, fiscally irresponsible, power centric board of education? I remember Tom Mingen's statement (at the public forum) that all three superintendent candidates were fully qualified and the district was lucky to have three top candidates to choose from.
What happened? Did they magically lose their qualifications at midnight?
Wasn't it the board of education who insisted on a CASB process that cost the district thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of lost productivity? Travel expenses and lodging for the candidates? How do they justify this waste?
Where is the board's accountability to the voters of Delta County? Obviously they are not concerned with being fiscally responsible. They don't value dollars, time or process. Transparency is non-existent.
Why isn't anyone asking why Dr. Perry withdrew his candidacy? Perhaps it is the board who isn't the right fit, not the candidates. Why aren't Mr. Reed and Mr. Doss a right fit? Or is the real issue that the board must be in total control and don't have a willing puppet to manipulate?
Students, parents and the communities that comprise Delta schools have been duped, cheated and misled by a board intent on micromanaging every aspect of the district.
Shame on you all — it is time to recall.
