School Board meeting ~ 2-20-12


For one of my school assignments we had to compare/contrast 2 school board meetings. I have been to several of my district school board meetings but decided to go to another one as a refresher. I also went to the neighboring school district board meeting. As you can see the board room is small, the building is less than 100 yards from a FREQUENTLY used train track, and of the 3 hours I was there the board was in open session less than 30 minutes. But what I didn't see in school board meeting I definitely got enough in school/community "Gossip." I spoke to my professor, who was the interim Superintendent, about the happenings in the community. It was definitely an interesting experience and I realized that most districts, especially small ones, have their fair share of drama and politics.
