Two very recent quotes from another forum in SOD. I don't believe either one has children in Timberlane. I don't say that as a criticism, only an observation.
I will say part of the reason I ran for SB is because I, at one time, also felt mistrust and I've made an effort to mitigate this for myself and the community at large. These efforts include organizing "An Evening with Timberlane" meetings, the "School Board Notes" newsletter, a continuing effort on a "District Report Card" amongst my own personal efforts to get to know and understand the school system better.
The purpose of this forum is to see if their feeling of mistrust is widespread. As Chair of the Community Relations Committee I think this is a very important issue. If the community doesn't support the School District because they don't trust it then I haven't done my job well as a School Board member and especially as Chair of the CR committee.
Please engage here and let me know how you feel about Timberlane, positive or negative. If you don't trust why? Is it a particular incident, issue or just a feeling you have? How did you come to feel this way? I will say I won't be able to answer all questions because I am bound by statute and/or lack of knowledge but I will take note and hopefully this will help improve things down the road.
I look forward to the discussion!
