School Board Has Public's Confidence

I encourage the expression of any and all points of view on schoolinfosystems.org. To that end, I posted below a recent letter to the editor on public confidence in the Madison school board.

Dear Editor: I am concerned by the "fact" that the public has lost confidence in the Madison School Board.

This is a lie. There is evidence to the contrary. The current board has engaged the public this school year more than ever. Board members have actively listened to public input and responded accordingly.

Take, for example, the possible boundary changes presented by the school district. Board members rejected the changes based on public input, altered them using ideas and suggestions from the community and directed the administration to come up with new boundary changes.

Through this process the public has steadily gained confidence in the School Board. Ignore the rumors and embrace the facts.
