Some thoughts!!

Something occurred to me this morning that I thought I would share, as parents we spend most of our lives worrying about our children. We worry about the opportunities that have been placed before them. We worry about their future, their college choices, their safety, their education and a multitude of other things that are part of being a parent. So, why do I state the obvious, well, I realized that we have three board members that have children in the Trinity School system and at least a couple that have grand children in Trinity.

How is it possible that most of these board members have spent the last 15 months worried about executing a variety of planned vendettas without even considering the disaster they have created for the children of the Trinity School District, including their own? They have been given an incredible opportunity to positively affect the educational, emotional and philosophical lives of hundreds of children and yet they have chosen to attack some very good people and tear apart the very system that they were elected to protect and develop. How exactly does one hate so deeply that they can do these things and not even consider the long term damage created by their actions.

This is the exact reason that we need to make sure that a new board is voted in this May, educated adults that do not care about a wrestling problem from seven years ago. People that understand that the way they treat the staff and employees of the school district is just as important as the student’s education. People that know how to respect their positions and to create a professional, goal oriented board. A board that believes in Roberts Rules of Order and believes that parent and taxpayer input are a blessing not a curse. Representatives that believe that every child at Trinity is worth the extra effort of the board members, men and woman whom love Trinity more than they love the power of the position.

We will have a gathering of concerned Trinity family members and anyone who is running for School Board in the upcoming election on Wednesday, March 9 at 7:00 p.m. The planned gathering will be held at The First Baptist Church located at

101 College St.

it is at the intersection of College and Wheeling St. Parking is in the rear of the church or at the library across the street. This meeting should give all of us a chance to ask questions of the potential candidates and hopefully to understand the reason’s behind each of their candidacies. All are welcome and hopefully we have a strong turnout for this very important gathering.
