Let's Talk About It!

Welcome to www.votersofmsad46.blogspot.com!

When Mel Johnson and I were Garland's representatives on the MSAD 46 Board of Directors, we maintained a long standing tradition of communicating with our community through our report to the Town, in the Annual Town Report. In every one of those reports, we acknowledged the need for the wisdom of the citizens. One of the benefits of including these in the printed record is that they can be reviewed in a historical context as evidence of our attempts to determine the values of our community in regard to the education of its children. "Both of us entered into this public service with the idea of bringing true citizen participation into the public discussion of education" (School Board Directors' Report, Town Of Garland, Annual Report 2005).

Because we believe that our public schools were created to serve the communities, citizen participation in the discussion and decision process should be encouraged and invited. That is the real purpose of this forum; to provide you with an opportunity to express your support, critique, comments or concerns in an atmosphere of acceptance of your opinion. We hope you will accept our invitation to share your views in the comments sections at the bottom of each post, or email us using the link at the left side of the page.
We've acknowledged the value that we always placed on the wisdom of the citizens. We truly hope you will share yours.
