Many denied at last week s board meeting that they have prejudices. They said instead that they want to build a stronger community. At the meeting, Oak Hills Elementary School introduced a workshop to the board that seemed to be very important to Principal Tony Knight and his students. World View is available to connect kids with people and things outside of their own community. Many parents observed open enrollment in other districts and said that it doesn t work.
Kids don t get along, they said, and fight with each other.
Some parents said they want smaller schools. Board president Jim Kalember said it would be nice to have smaller classrooms, but added that it wasn t likely. Fewer kids equals fewer programs. Last Tuesday, the board approved changes in inter-district policy. If it does, transfers will be accepted.
