Letter to the Editor - May 24, 2013

One man stood apart. At the school board meeting, one man did the right thing - John Holland. He looked us in the eye and listened. He stood alone when he voted the right way for Mr. Friesz. You could see the compassion in his face. The superintendent wouldn’t even look up. No respect from him, a coward in my eyes and my grandson. The school board gave us two minutes to talk. They wouldn’t let us be on the agenda. Suzie and I got the run around on that. We voted these people in and we will vote them out. A lot sooner, I hope. We need more board members like John Holland, someone that will listen to the taxpayers. We live in a democracy, since when do the school members decide against the majority? A good man who is part of our community and our churches and our hearts just got ran out of a job. We won’t let this fight go. someone has to stand up for Mr. Friesz and do the right thing. The school board would not answer our question, why? We will make the school board accountable for their actions. It is our right to have good teachers in our school. they hired a new shop teacher last week. Would not even put us on the agenda. Shame on you. Do they know anything about this new teacher? Why was everything so rushed? The fight has just begun.
