Has Culver Left the Board Table?


The few people n the audience at the 10-26-09 school board meeting instantly recognized that something didn't feel right. Something was amiss. It took a few moments to realize what was out of place. It was the sight of Dr. Culver sitting off to the side table instead of his typical [yet inappropriate] place at the board President's left hand.

Could it be that the school board has finally decided that it's inappropriate for Culver--their employee-- to be seated at the board table? Is this a permanent change? Or was it merely that they didn't want to catch whatever virus Culver was infected with? [Culver's voice was noticeably affected by some respiratory infection, and he reached for the tissues several times as well. We only hope he used hand sanitizer before shaking hands with those that were given awards at the meeting.]

Guess we'll find out this coming Monday, when we see which seat Culver takes at the school board meeting.

The school board, for many years now, has opted for a "Team of Eight" approach, as we have written about previously .

We also offer this other website, which discusses the "Team of Eight concept"

" Who's in charge of our school boards & their. meetings when it's a 'Team of Eight' ... The "Team of Eight" is seven elected board members plus their employee ... "
