I believe having a board with different views and opinions is good as it brings perspective. However, it is very unfortunate to see how some board members can’t seem to disagree respectfully ( I had hope on the new ones!) . It is ok to disagree, but no need to attack each other, personally, each time there is a difference of opinion. KCKPS has shared that they don’t tolerate bullying (bully: to treat (someone) in a cruel, insulting, threatening, or aggressive fashion). How we expect our students to act with respect when our leadership is not modeling that. I was very impressed with the words of the board president, Mr Lopez, before they went to executive meeting. Well say! Now let’s hope we start seeing a difference. Let’s remember that none of these board members are there because they are making money, they are there because they care for our families and staff and want to make a difference. Be respectful to each other, agree to disagree, support each other when mistakes are made, WORK TOGETHER, help us move forward. #StrongerTogether
