John Stockton January 18, 2023 at 2:38 pmWhen I ran for BOE , those running would type up a if elected strategy/ plan to the public. Is there anyway you could reach out to those running for BOE so public would have a idea on who to vote for? Reply
Robyn Clevenger March 13, 2023 at 9:30 amI cannot believe that the school board actually allowed an individual who does nothing but represent her racism, slander on the LGBQTA+, announcing she will kill our animals if God forbid they get loose and get near her yard, and cannot even use the proper grammar. Also, she called my 16 year old a “stuck up b****” at our local Walmart. That is someone who should NOT represent our children! Reply
Sharon March 13, 2023 at 8:35 pmI agree with John Stockton. We need to know what those running believe needs to be improved upon what they believe the strong/weaknesses are currently. Reply
