Board’s Not About Power But About Future Education
Wisconsin State Journal :: OPINION :: A8
Saturday, February 18, 2006
I’m a parent, a volunteer and a citizen wishing to help our fine Madison School District. Over the past year of attending board of education meetings I’ve discovered it’s all about politics. Delaying decisions about building is not for the good of our community, and with an annual board salary of $4,000, it can’t be about the money. Decisions, discussions and solutions for resolution on any topic can take days or weeks, and in the case of school overcrowding and growth — years.
Is this about power or the education of our future generation? Do your research and head to the polls to vote for the candidates you feel will make good decisions. Vote for candidates with experience, who do their research and actually understand the issues we face, who will work to improve our entire district and community. Support Arlene Silveira for school board.
