I read in last week's Monticello News that our school board felt somewhat left- out going onto the campus of Somerset Jefferson County. It seems that all of those years on the school board with the board members arriving on campus to bully teachers, support staff,and administrators had finally come to a bitter end. The board members were complaining to Somerset that they no longer felt welcome to a school that they had destroyed. The board members want to weld the same kind of power that they once did, and it is no longer possible.
Why would the red carpet be laid out for individuals that destroyed a school system? Board members, it seems had failed to get the memo, that the people of Jefferson County are finally happy with a school system with results.
But alas, to keep the peace with the whining board members,Somerset has instructed the staff to make sure the board members feel important when they arrive on campus.
This reminds me of a kid that demands that others like him after he has bullied everyone. Board members, you destroyed a school system, and to give you access to try and do it again is ludicrous!!!!!!!! Stay away from a fully functioning, score lifting, academic progressive school system. I once again must apologize to Somerset for a few people that still believe in their importance, even though the DOE has specifically designated as non- functioning.
