It is interesting how the BOE has made those of us who speak up (myself at the forefront) their enemy. Tonight the BOE, minus a few members were either bored or defensive in reaction to public comment. BOE members, rather than consider the information in front of them chose to look for flaws so that they can disregard the information. Why is that their reactions? Shouldn't they be pleased that we are working hard to provide them with this information?
Did they hear what we said or were their inner voices talking over us tell them how annoying we were?
Some good point that were made (read up BOE in case you missed it).
1. It IS the BOE's job to make the budgetary decisions and to make Rosario explore all areas for cuts.
2. The Administration does have fat to cut and everyone looking in sees that.
3. Closing a school is bad idea for more reasons than it is a good idea.
4. Cutting those at the bottom (like paraprofessionals) while insulating those at the top is wrong.
Gail accused us (me mostly probably) of being condescending. It is funny how it is o.k. for the BOE members to look at us as we speak and look bored and disinterested while it is not o.k. for me to call them on it. It is like the older sibling taunting the younger sibling until the younger sibling reacts outloud and then the younger sibling is reprimanded.
