Watch live- Joplin R-8 Board of Education meeting at 6 p.m.
The whole meeting was ridiculous. It’s very unfortunate. Too many agendas; too many followers & not enough independent thinkers; not enough questioning. John Hird & Matt Robertson did a good job of trying to ask questions, seek clarification…jeez, if nothing else ask the questions for the community/the taxpayers. No discussion of why Rylee Hartwell would be a good Board President vs the other nominee, David Weaver? Why John Hird would be a good Board VP vs the other nominee, Donald Greenlee. It was frustrating to watch the entire thing play out. And, the last 30-40 min, one couldn’t even understand what was being said…there were, obvious, sound issues. Not at all, what I was hoping to watch.
