So... what was that recall election all about anyway?

Okay, it would seem that the obvious to some is escaping too many people.

The recall election was about one thing to one group and a totally different thing to the other...

The CARES group (PAC members and those who ascribe to the same philosophical paradigm) initiated the recall because they knew that there were now enough board member votes to get Mr. Robinson out the door... They were afraid that their friend/leader could possibly be removed and they believed (erroneously) that they were in the majority. They hoped they could spread enough rumor and innuendo to get all of those who were not paying attention to vote against the "loose cannons" Alexander and Wineteer.

The people who actively opposed the recall (no name, because there were multiple groups who for multiple reasons were in agreement) believe that the direction of the district is wrong, the leadership is out of control and the impact on our students is detrimental.

The removal of Robinson, in and of itself, was only necessary because he refused to listen to anyone and was a roadblock to fixing the district.

However, if anyone believes that the removal of Robinson without a complete change in what is going on is what the recall was about.....this community just wasted over a quarter of a million dollars.

There must be change...otherwise, we could have kept Robinson and saved money.

The recall was about removing Robinson only so that the district can change direction.

There is a community forum being held at the American Legion on Tuesday evening at 6:30pm. It is designed to offer an opportunity for input regarding the changes to come.

If you have ideas, or concerns, or questions...or if you just plain care about our kids, this will be a great opportunity for you to be heard.

I hope to see you all there.
