It's called denial. There couldn't be possibly anything wrong here in LPS.

I thought it was rather odd the way that Mrs. Scheel tried to stop Mr. Spence from handing a copy of this public document to Trustee King. I think she said something like, "Please do not approach the table!"
I have seen plenty of other people approach the board table to hand the trustees documents. Why the bizzare reaction?

Actually Vanna, Scheel told Mr. Spence to give the papers to the secretary, Freeman, was the one who said do not come up to the table. And he did not say please. However, I agree with you on, when was it ever illegal to approach the sacred table? Many people have done it in the past, he even asked to approach. Give me a frickin break, the guy with the lawyer approached the sacred table. :ph43r:

I thought that when she said secretary that she was referring to Mrs. Steffes, not Freeman.
Oops, I just re-read your post. Maybe that is what you meant too.

Disturbing behavior from Scheel & Freeman.
Very disturbing. :ph43r:

More than just disturbing! Do they realize how they look when they act like that? That's the same way they acted during the Kevin Whitehead deal - arrogant! arrogant and they were totally WRONG!
And look what it gets them, a peanut gallery of dysfunctional supporters who don't even have 2 kids in the schools between them all.

I think Steve King made an excellent point regarding the PTA buying playground equipment. It is the school district's job to provide this.
At the beginning of the year we are asked to donate money to the PTA. Then a field trip comes up, there is no money for buses, not enough parent drivers and the trip is canceled. How about using the donations we made for this scenario?
I can imagine not many parents at Riley are going to support a fund raiser/donations for a new playscape when their kid is only there for two years.

Not to mention it was the admin's fault that it was the incorrect size to begin with! Why should money be taken from the kids to pay for someone else's mistake?

While SK has no problem voting no on the bills for payment to make a point, why is he voting yes to accept the gift for playground equipment when he has issues with it? He should continue to make his point by voting no instead of yes.
Although I do have to question his comments regarding how PTA's should or should not use their fundraising dollars when he is not a PTA member.

He has to be a PTA member to make a comment? Wow.....I did not know that...

Often people don't join groups because of the groups known affiliation or support of certain issues or practices...e.g. al-Qaeda, KKK, etc.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be WRONG.

He can comment - freedom of speech being what it is. But it is certainly hypocritical that he comments on how an organization spends its $$$ when he doesn't have a membership or contributes to the organization.

Aren't you twisting what he said just a bit? His comment was directed at the district. The [size=7]district[/size] should be paying for the playground equipment. He was actually standing up for the PTA.
