At the board meeting this past October 7th (the next schoolboard meeting is the 21st) - and in the interest of clear communication; My bringing up of the two-day window was NOT out of personal irritation, nor because I have any antagonism against anyone or any institution, not at all - It is because it is the equivalent of a small hand-axe being carried by the baby-sitter one interviews for a job, it is hard to not focus on. A small little thing, perhaps - but profoundly disturbing nonetheless. THE CORE NUT OF THE MATTER: Board members inquired of the administration to explain the two day window to learn of and to sign up for board meetings. In the course of explaining and defending itself, the administrations used the the word agenda THREE times to explain what I complaining about - Ive never used the word agenda in any discussion or correspondence, ever. This policy is not new, as most sitting there well know - but no one spoke up. Hmmm. No one gives a poop about the agenda. It should be posted and is nice to have, sure - - but as you must now see, this was a red-herring. Obfuscation. The question is, why? Hmmm... cant help thinking/noticing; What an awesome example this is of the REACTIVE-CULTURE of NO we are about to change within our schools - discussed in this very Oct. 7th meeting by odd-coincidence. We now can agree and know that it is we that must change, our kids are (or soon will be) fine. If ever, ever there was a great opportunity to apply the Rwanda-miracle, it is here, Error is opportunity to learn; shall we lead by example? Reconcile? Despite appearances, as you and most if not all of those on the board well-know; I only ever speak to one topic, just one - period. Just the one topic, one goal, one purpose - period, period, period.. Same-thing here as when I spoke at the recent board meeting - In the hope of one day seeing our schools here in Broward and nationwide become a safe sanctuary for our kids from an overly penal, and too often abusive and traumatic, world - to the absolute best of our abilities. I could care less about publishing of the meeting agenda - What is egregious is that there has been a complete lack of any meeting dates whatsoever readily available for so long, that nothing at all is, nor ever has been, publicly available on the BCPS website on upcoming meetings ever, until just prior - that the PUBLIC and PARENTS have been denied such a basic right in such a seemingly disingenuous fashion . Further - this is not a new policy - and it is not the first time it has been brought to the administrations attention - and it is again worth taking note that once again those that knew this sat silent at the board meeting. Neither is there any information on charter-school-related meeting dates nor places, nor even mention, of the existence of any-such public meetings whatsoever as are regularly held by (you) Mr. Runcie, on the publics dime, with a shadow-board for charter schools - which anyone is welcomed to attend - if one knows the secret meeting-place and time. A secret password and handshake may, in all likelihood, also be required, one might reasonably suspect. Yes? Just a few more hatchets to go like these and we will be down to 100% hatchet-free babysitter - and certified trustworthy. Trust in ever brighter future, because of our kids. The school district of Broward County, and State of Florida, should NOT be destroying all email and other (imorally, even if theyve changed the law so that it is no longer a criminal act, it should be by the law of common-sense and right-action) potentially incriminating data that is, at a minimum, of historical value. They destroy everything that is older than... wait for it... can you imagine or guess? Give it a try. Have a number in your head? Erase it all, all that is more than two years old - this is what is being said and done, right now. Can you believe the sheer gall of those that would presume us so ignorant and docile as to accept blindly their lame excuse of, It costs too much - Wah!? No it does not cost much at all. I know. Liars liars, pants on fire! It can go into the cloud. Amazon. Microsoft. Google. IBM. Just pick one. So cheap to store in the cloud, its almost free! It is time to change our proven-ineffective, unscientific, (evil) ways, yes? For our kids?
