Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only one frustrated by the empty chair at our board meetings. My kids deserve representation that actually shows up to do the work required by our district policy.

We need nine active school board members to make important decisions for the Pleasant Valley taxpayers and the students, not only eight.
If you can't put in the time needed to do the job you wanted, you should resign and save the trouble.
It's common sense. You should make sure you have ample time to attend meetings if you hold an office.
It is time for the school board members to follow state and district policy.
