Re-vote on Boundary Issue Coming????

Even before last night's school board meeting, several individuals reported that they had discussions with officials. Word is that the board will be re-considering the boundary issue during the May 12, 2008 school board meeting.

That may bode well as a sign that the remnants of the school board's "old guard" are finally listening to the public. Beyond the issue of WHAT decisions were made, HOW those decisions were made raised a stench within the community.

Unfortunately, this news raises further questions about the inner workings of the school board. How is the agenda for a meeting set? Who decides what gets on the agenda? How can someone know what will be on the agenda before the agenda is made public? Isn't this dangerously close to a "walking quorum"?
