I’m all for “Focusing on the children,” but doesn’t that start with taking some immediate actions?

1.  Why isn’t the community demanding a recall of Seitz?  If we want to make a definitive statement and set a proper example for our children, we should show some spine and kick him out.  Our collective inaction simply enables this type of behavior and allows him to continue to govern our school district through 2o26.  That’s significant damage.  Imagine if he tries to stack the board with his buddies which leads me to action #2.

2.  We should be scrutinizing every candidate that runs for the School Board.  I suspect that some may have skeletons or, like Paul, axes to grind with the school.  I personally wouldn’t vote for an individual, backed by Paul.

3.  Is it too difficult to get competent individuals to be on the Board?  We all know of folks in the Ranch who have inflated opinions of themselves and profess to be exceptional business managers.  But, none of us would even trust them to feed our fish when we were out of town.  Why are we settling on half-wits and mediocrity?  I recognize that many working professionals in the community don’t have the bandwidth to serve on the School Board, and I posit that those who may be available have been deterred given the past climate of mudslinging.  As a community, its time for us to shape up and promote better candidates for the Board.  I don’t care if you’re a Republican, Democrat, or Independent.  If you have demonstrable experience (and minimally sane with good temperament), I encourage you to run.
