DEMOCRACY AT WORK in the APCSD

Democracy - free and equal representation of people: the free and equal right of every person to participate in a system of government, often practiced by electing representatives of the people by the majority of the people.

It is time for this community to rally together in these difficult fiscal times. We need to make decisions that serve the best interests of our children.

The members of the APCSD BOE are the duly elected representatives of the APSCD taxpayers. Therefore, we should be addressing them respectfully, intelligently and regularly.

How appropriate would it be then, at BOE meetings, to direct questions directly to individual members. Questions directed to Pam Tatar and Jennie Glasser seem to be appropriate during this budget cycle. " Jennie what's your position on............" or " Pam what's your position on ..........".

If the president of the BOE attempts to limit the individual questioning simply ask the entire BOE to be polled at the meeting regarding the issue. The entire BOE is our representative body not just the president. If the president does not allow the individual questioning then ask the individual BOE members to address the issue in their end of meeting comments.

The Superintendent is asking for input from the community on many pressing issues. We, as APSCD taxpayers, properly expect and deserve to know WHAT INPUT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE ON THESE ISSUES.

The APSCD community eagerly await the individual Board Members input!
