Just ONE will Do!

Ok Folks…So you want change…and you think you are up to it? Well here’s an opportunity for you to test the waters! The BOE is looking for (1) Good Man or Woman! Are you IT?

And before anyone asks --- I “AIN’T” interested! Why? Let’s just say – I think there is a conflict of interest. I have never done well with process and procedures (a.k.a. Pomp and Circumstance) that “restricts” my ability to TELL it LIKE it IS! How IT is -- When it IS! There are legal requirements such servitude would stymie this GOD given gift of mine! And at the end of the day…I MUST always be able to say What needs to be said!

So, there you have it!

But -- I know there are those of you out there that have mastered the ability to bide your time and tongue…and have the eloquence, people-skills and political savvy to be an asset to the BOE, our students and our Community.

If you’ve ever wondered, thought you could, thought you wanted to, or are just curious about the people and the process of the BOE machine – I urge you to take up this opportunity to peer into the inner workings of this very intense and important civic duty.
