The controversy, however, didn't interrupt the flow of business at the board meeting, at which Hoefer and Buske were present. The board stayed on point. They will be bringing a lot of questions and many new ideas to the table, he added. The chemistry changes with each new board, the superintendent pointed out. The communications style change, too.

They must learn to learn and be responsive to new ideas, he said. Besides new ideas, Hoefer hopes to bring more people to school board meetings. But I just don't know. It's going to be interesting to see if the people of this community are willing to stand up and be counted. He says he's done all he can do, writing letters to the editor, including to Oswego Daily News, seeking the public's support.
