Parents & Residents of Smith County
Time Is Ticking
JULY 21st Is The Next SCBOE Meeting
At the June 16 Meeting the School Board agreed to fill out written evaluations on the Directors performance and turn them in by the July meeting. The appointment of the Director is one of the only things the Board has authority to do and his evaluation should be important to anyone interested in the schools. There was no discussion about allowing any public input or involvement. In fact, it appears that the members of the school board do not realize that they are public officials and should ask for your views.
As residents and parents of Smith County we all need to do three things:
1. Call or write your Board member and give your honest opinion on the Director.
2. Call or write all Board members and tell them your own opinion even if they are in a different district. They are responsible for a whole system not just their district.
3. As tax payers we need to ask them for a public hearing so anyone can have a reasonable opportunity to state his/her views before the whole Board. We need to remind the Board members that they are our representatives and they should at least be willing to listen. This is the first evaluation of the Director and is only done once a year so now is the time to have your say.
