"Concerned Citizens" ask questions of School Board

This letter was given to the school board prior to last night's meeting. School board president Terry Butram addressed the concerns line-by-line at the end of the meeting. The answers were brief and quick, but I was able to capture the following:

1. What are issues other than test scores that are important to board?: AYP, policies, finances
2. Is it policy that tobacco use is prohibited for school employees?: It is policy for anybody on school campus per state law.
Has there been disciplinary action taken when a school employee has used tobacco?: Don't know.
3. Sexually inappropriate verbal statement made at staff meeting attended by Superintendent. Is this allowed, if not what was done about it?: Don't know about this, no one reported it to Superintendent.
4. Whose responsibility is it to establish procedures for student's and citizen's safety in getting to/from the school building?: The school district's, which includes staff, administration and citizens.
Is it a safety hazard to have children and citizens walk behind/between vehicles due to snow pileup?: Yes
What would be the appropriate time frame for snow removal by school personnel?: As soon as it can be done.
