What’s Next

I’ve got a lot of great ideas on my next blogs and perspectives. Drop me a comment to let me know what you may want to know! Here’s my working list:

Upcoming topic ideas:

1. Personal attacks, rumors, and defamation of character say far more about those spreading the information than they do about their intended target.
2. Why do so many people choose to post information on Facebook under ‘Anonymous’? Is it to protect their privacy, avoid backlash, or shield themselves from potential criticism and personal attacks?
3. Explanation of Funds: An interview with Jeff (because we all know that is not my forte!)
4. What are the oaths of a board member, and what does that mean?
5. See Post on 1/24/25: What They Don’t Want You to Know. (Why is BABD so determined to remove Jeff from the Board? Their fixation on his removal raises important questions: Who stands to benefit from this decision? What conflicts of interest exist, and what potential risks are there for self-interests to undermine the broader goals of the community?)
6. April 2025 BOE Candidates – who do I vote for?
7. What is the Open Meetings Act, and why it’s important.
8. Acting in the Best Interest of the District – How do we get back to what matters?
9. Leadership and Tough Decisions
10. What are the volunteer opportunities in the district? How do we get involved?
11. What is the CEA and how does the BOE play a role collective bargaining?
12. Teachers’ Unions and BOE Elections: Conflict of Interest?
13. Rogue School Boards, impact(s) of board censure, and what are the appropriate steps?
14. Who is our superintendent, and what are the challenges and costs associated should she leave the district?
15. Teacher retention—do administrators or educators truly want to work in a district that has a reputation for ongoing contention with parents? How does this dynamic impact the district’s ability to attract and retain talented professionals?
16. Community involvement and volunteer activities – what options are available to get involved?
