The momentum is undeniable now. The board cannot keep ignoring this shift.

The board office is officially ignoring my emails about this schedule change. Silence is a choice.

Signing because I feel working members of the community,parents,grandparents and faculties and staff members that wish to attend should be able to able to without taking time off work to do so. I feel it would be beneficial to change the start time to 6:30 PM

I am asking for School Board meetings to be at 6:30 pm on a routine schedule. Parents that work are unable to attend the 5:00 pm meetings , how then can you hear the voice of the people that have elected you? We love our kids and our community and it is our responsibility to stand up for them.

The start should allow working parents to attend meetings at 6:30pm. The agenda for each meeting should be published and sent to parents at least a week ahead of time to allow time for people to plan attendance.

Parents face many challenges in raising their children and need to be able able to attend these meetings. It’s not reasonable for working parent to attend a 5:00 board meeting. These meetings need to be moved to 6:30pm. It takes a village to raise a child and the voices of their parents need to be heard.

I think the board meet should be at 6:30. This will allow for more families to be at the meeting. Many people do not get off of work and doing the kid pickups n errands. Also. With the ever growing population in the county and city, the traffic is definitely an issue that needs to be considered.

I think that our children need to be taught what is right! This is so far from that! Worldly ways are killing us! Don’t conform!

I pray that this horrific literature will be removed! Our children do not need to be corrupted by this! Our world’s happenings are bad enough!
