WCTA Requests Time on School Board Agenda

[Jdarg]

What's past is past, let's please keep this thread about moving forward. There are lots of beefs and axes to grind, but we need positive momentum. Negative is unproductive. We have an opportunity to make changes and a difference, and we need positive community support energy.

Mr. Davis has dedicated most of his career to the children of this county on top of having a demanding legal career. I haven't agreed with him on other "hotbed" political issues in the past but I've never questioned his dedication when it came to the education of kids in this county or what is in their best interest.

Mark seems to be his own man who answers to his own conscience, not political allies.

Moving forward, I still think he is an awesome choice. Premature maybe...but something positive to think about for sure.

I'm confused about how you go about forgetting the past when teachers and students have been wronged. And how do you conduct a "positive" protest as in packing the room with student protesters.

Not being a shred serious about the kids...just my way of showing I support needed changes. Carry on.

I think dumbing-down the children in this county for so long has what got us to where we are today.

If we don't listen to the children today, just remember they grow up and vote tomorrow.

The majority of my childs graduating class still live and work in this community and are old enough to vote.

It's not about forgetting what happened but about learning from it and moving forward. Complaining and finger pointing about all the bad/wrong that has happened in the past isn't a way to move forward.

We need to remember it but continue to make the changes to improve the school system and have productive conversations about what we all want and expect

What happens if the queen refuses to allow an audience with the WCTA?

What happens if the queen refuses to allow an audience with the WCTA?

It's not up to her. The board votes. The WCTA asked for the 3 requests to be put on the agenda. We are waiting to find out the meeting date. Also these requests have nothing to do with anybody personally, but an attempt to hopefully get the ball rolling for the community to take more of an interest in the Walton County educational process. Let's please keep looking at the big picture.

If we are unable to get a specific agenda slot we will simply make the requests by using multiple people to make a request during the public comments section.

Newspaper ads are being prepared to help everyone understand our requests.

Bob, you and the WCTA are doing a great job!!! Please continue to do so.
