Community InteractionBy Melissa C. BoothCandidate for School Director At Large; Owen J Roberts School District | |
This information is provided by the candidate |
In search of Vital Community Involvement through enhanced transparency techniques is of vital concern. Let our voices be heard. Speak to me - mcbooth@comcast.netSince my decision to dive into the pool of politics and persuasion I have been educating myself by gathering much information and involving myself in constituent discussions concerning my endeavor and my resulting responsibilities. My initial concern was the lack of transparency and public interaction with our sitting school board. Having dealt with our children's education over past years, dealing with their differing needs and developmental capabilities, I understand how important and intrinsic this interaction is to fulfill the needs of all students. This concern also happened to be one of great importance related through door to door discussion with constituents. In the past there was much interaction, commitment and comment from our citizens. When our children were attending OJR there was such interaction. I understand that was 15 or 20 years ago, but I hope to revise this enthusiasm. The OJR sitting school board is doing a good job, has hired an excellent Supervisor and fulfills their duties. However, I feel it would be greatly beneficial to expand this board's interaction. I have attended board meetings and understand the public's frustration with their lack of knowledge and opportunity for resulting involvement. There are simplistic moves which could alleviate some of these concerns.
I possess both time & commitment to fulfill this enhancement. Parents and constituents deserve this, desire this, and are by law due this opportunity. Sincerely, Melissa C. Booth Hopeful Candidate for School Director OJR School District |
