Well I said I was done blogging about the school district and now as is a woman's prerogative, I've changed my mind.
I must admit, I've become increasing cynical about this district and where it is headed. The last few weeks however I have seen some rays of hope.
The board members for the most part are interested in moving forward rather than rehashing the past. Generally board members treat each other with respect and seem willing to listen to each other. Time will tell...
I have attended the two board retreats that have been held thus far, one on finance and one on board governance. A lot of information was provided and while I'm impatient for discussion and decisions I am hopeful that will happen sooner rather than later.
I was also reserving judgement on whether the hiring of Dr. Viegut as superintendent was the right decision for the district.

I must say I was rather surprised with Patti Vickman being named Human Resources Director. Does she have any background or education in Human relations?
I'm not the least surprised with Patti Vickman being Human Resources Director. With all her years as a principal, hiring staff she has plenty of experience. I'd take experience over a degree any day. To my knowledge Mr. Sprangers had a teaching degree and a law degree, and when he was hired had little to no experience in Human Relations and almost everyone I've talked to had nothing but praise for the job he did.
