So tonight I plan on attending the Marysville school board meeting. I've considered taking time to speak, but I'm neither fish nor fowl in the district, so it feels like any actions I take would be those of an outsider. I don't even know if hubby-Eric will stay in the district past this year.
But I plan on going to the meeting, at least. It will be the first meeting with the three new board members. I'm sure some speakers will ask the remaining two board members and the superintendent to resign. That would be both the politically smart thing and the morally right thing to do, so no one expects the them to budge. In particular, it is said of Helen Mount that if God himself came down and told her she was wrong, she would still hold to her opinion.
I'm not really sure what good my presence will do. Sure, I can sit in the back and make snide remarks, but will my being there make any real difference? I don't know. What I do know is that last week 900 students in 8th and 9th grades got brand new schedules four weeks into the school year, and that nonsense was perpetuated by the leadership of the district. Whether or not I say a word, I will hold those three responsible for the actions they've taken that have basically ruined a school year for those kids.
Looks may not be able to kill, but maybe I can at least make them uncomfortable. I'll post a full report on the meeting tonight or tomorrow morning, if there's anything worth reporting.
