Dear Garretson Community,
As a lifetime member and member of a very active family of the Garretson community I'm very frustrated and disappointed. I'm writing this letter to get my opinion and frustration out.
With the events that have occurred recently in our school, all the chit-chat going around amongst our adult and minor community frustrates me. As a prior school board member what is discussed in executive session remains there and lawfully cannot be shared.
So in other words it is no different than if someone goes to the doctor and a close friend wants to know why, the doctor cannot say anything by law.
So my biggest frustration is that people are screaming and throwing fits about board decisions when in fact they probably don't have all the truth to the situation and will never.
My point is people wake up and act like decent human beings, you elected these people to run your school and if you are not satisfied then maybe you should throw your hat in the ring and run for school board. And as far as children acting up in the school because of the events that have occurred my opinion on that is as follows. I grew up in this town and my parents raised me to respect your elders and to this day I hold myself to that lesson and taught my children the same. Now I'm sure that someone is going to dislike my opinion and frankly I don't care because we don't always have to agree on everything. So enough said I feel better by getting this off my chest and if you dislike it too bad I'm not looking for a debate.
