Second, it is a better petition.
"719 Cares" vs. the new Petition "719 We Care More."
and everyone knows that more is better.
Finally, The first petition is for those who:
"support our Superintendent and our school district"
The new one is about supporting:
"our Children and what's best for their education"
I think supporting the Kids is better.

Of course it is about children! Including the 500+ children Chris Lind has as "Friends" on his MY Space account as of the publishing of this entry.
We are all for supporting Kids. We are not for:
1) 44 year old man exploiting school age children on the internet when they don't truly understand the consequences.
2) Running a fiscally conservative School Board campaign. Then when asked at a School Board meeting on 12/10/07, Mr. Lind DECLINED being on the Finance Committee.

Back to page topIf you have proof that Chris is doing something inappropriate, then report him to the police.
If you don't like the fact that you lost the referendum and that Dr. W (who apparently isn't the best Superintendent in the world according to Wayzata) then get over yourself.
If we want to start a recall over a school board member who indicated one thing during the campaign but did something else, then I suggest the entire School board resign.
Inappropriate and Illegal...

Back to page topIs there a chance we can just move forward? I Would hate to see a community divided over this issue. The vote happened, the superintendent made his decision and now is the time to move ahead.

Back to page topMove forward? What's that? You mean start living in the now and not always in the past?
Huh? What a concept.
This community must be taking its cues from Major League Baseball, who can't seem to move forward either when it comes to steroids.

Back to page topBy the way, I get the animosity on both sides and I'm glad there is passion out there. I would just hate to see the same thing that happened in my old school district happen here.
Perry Township (south side of Indianapolis). Disagreement/removal from office of an award winning super by the board. Teachers, residents and alumni divided. Tons of $$$ spent fighting and really poor example of how to work out differences taught to students. Not a perfect comparison, but too many parallels for my comfort.
If you want to see where this can head, google Perry Township Lawsuit, read the stories and the vicious arguments on boards.

Back to page topI agree with tgt paul's statement that what has been going on is a pretty poor example for young people in this district. I hope the adults can sort things out in a grown-up manner so they can have a legacy of setting a good example for the students in the district rather than come across as a bunch of cry-babies.
