Ms Tucker does indeed have ties to Dr. Besendorfer. She has been used as a consultant by the district before, so we taxpayers have paid for a consultant who is a friend of the person we'd most like to see be replaced. And, why does a group of seven people need a facilitator? Can they not think for themselves?

I haven't seen anything. Like 7:57, I keep watching but don't find any information. Why won't someone tell us what is going on? Hello Globe! What about the sunshine law you are always holding onto?

Nothing. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't read it elsewhere.

Interesting that they are okay looking into Speck but not R8.<br />And how does the board expect to:"become the employer of choice through recruitment and retention"? Maybe through continuing to hire friends and reletives of the current administration and their minions--qualified or not.

As far back as Reeds Springs or more? <br /><br />Hardly neutral and you're right, hardly indicates a change of direction, at least a positive change in direction. Google their names together and see what you find. <br /><br />I'd say the greatest change we'll see will be more new faces in the classroom. How sad.

I was feeling pretty hopeful that change was in the air until I read the article about their retreat in the Globe this morning. Employee retention gets a small mention.
