Curious, why spend so much of this article bashing Heather Rooks when she walks out of a meeting , where in your words, they are elected and should stay and work it out. But months ago in DVUSD, you forgot to write about the meeting where Stephanie Simacek walked out too. But you failed to talk about it. Stephanie was elected too, but on bullying and harassment issues, that were topics at every meeting for 5 months straight. The topic finally gets on the agenda officially, and she isn’t paying attention to comments, then claims were off topic. Meeting goes on for another 20 min. Bullying agenda item is announced and the same second, Stephanie Simacek walks out, Ann Ordway hangs up and now two board members left cancelling the quorum. Coordinated attack it looks like. Let’s talk about that? And the agenda item hasn’t been revisited since her “temper tantrum” on October 17.

SUSD has an amazing Student Advisory Board made up of students from all of the high schools. They could be a model for other Districts!

I was at the state board meeting recently and they have one of those from all over as well. Wonder if it’s the same one, just hosted at SUSD.

Evangelical Extremist Toastmasters Club — love that description. These school board meeting recaps are very entertaining and, yes, a little scary.
