Having served on the School Board for three years, I came to
accept that we were often blamed for everything that happened
in the school district, whether we had anything to do with it
or not.
While I haven't seen the newspaper story, I would hope that it
made clear that it was the district budget committee, not the
School Board, that ranked student activities low on the priority
list. The committee is made up of administrators, staff, and
community members. The superintendent will now have an opportunity
to make changes to the rankings before it goes to the School
Board for final prioritization.
I agree with Mr. Edwardson that student activities are an important
part of education, and hope the board will give it a higher priority.
