As we move closer and closer to the BOE Election it’s time we talk shop.
A few weeks ago I did a poll on the character types we expect in our leadership, what areas would lead us to success and a few more items/issues which I will be publishing over the next two weeks – for now, however, let’s focus on our BOE members. This time I’m leaving it an open “free text” comment question because I really want to hear from each of you.
So, what kind of person do you feel will make for the best Board of Education Member. i.e. a Dr., Lawyer, teacher etc.. – be specific and tell us why you feel this type of individual will serve the community best.
What expectations do you have for your Board Members?
On April 20th your ability to choose wisely will depend largely on how clear your expectations are for Board members. It is equally as important that you understand the limits of the Board of Education and where YOU the community will need to step in and confront the educational ills of our community.
What does the PERFECT Board of Education for Plainfield look like?
What does the PERFECT BOE and Community CoOp look like?
At the end of the day – it really is up to each of YOU!
I’m looking forward to reading your comments.
Ciao for now!
Progress With Purpose!

Hey My Anonymous friend -- I got your comment but I would really like to stick to this topic. The other thing is out of our hands so let the other district play it out. We can concentrate on cleaning house and making some positive changes.
-Thanks!
I'd like to see a board that can read and comprehend the agendas that they approve. Not just say "yes". Ask questions. Don't let personal relationships get confused with obligations. Don't rubber stamp the waste. Take a look at the implications of your vote and consider the children first. Will your vote help the children be more prepared to contribute to society. Board members must be more global in their thinking.
This is exactly the kind of input I'm looking for...Thank YOU--THANK YOU! Something meaningful for would be candidates to sink their teeth into. So much for the idle (histrionic) threats of folk not voting or supporting this person and that...just say what you want and move on for the love of the children!
I'd like to know what happens to someone who is one way during a campaign and then seems to do a 180 and totally change up on the community after they win. I don't know how to hold people accountable when they apparently misrepresent themselves. But if WC and LLL can operate as independent thinkers how does the rubberstamp become so popular with others. I urge folks to really scrutinize the candidates and not just vote like it's a popularity contest. But you, Miss Renata seem to be a breath of fresh air and logic. Take your common sense all the way to victory!!! Oh I guess I didn't really answer the question. Just be a candidate that can ask the difficult questions and demand the right answers.
