This Is How You Muddy the Water

There is a difference between speaking as an individual and steering the public narrative.

I am resharing my earlier piece on school board governance in response to yet ANOTHER paid advertisement from an individual trustee, because it is a clear example of the concern: personal advocacy dressed up as public accountability.

Board members can speak for themselves, but serious concerns belong in the public meeting process, where claims can be questioned, clarified, corrected, and put on the record rather than packaged into a one-sided narrative that the teachers, staff, and community cannot properly answer.

That is the difference between oversight and performance. Governance happens through agendas, discussion, direction, and votes, not paid advertisements that keep dragging the community back into the same conflicts.
