It stands to reason they'll occasionally say something that may rub one or more of us the wrong way. Our recent Sioux City school board election may not have been a red-hot political battle, but the two jobs at stake are, needless to say, very important appointments.
Many issues face our schools today.
That goes for schools everywhere, not just Sioux City. And, for as long as I can remember, serving on a community school board anywhere has always been a weighty responsibility. I haven't lost sight of this fact in all the years I've nagged and pleaded, urging our schools to find money to fund middle school sports programs. So, I've patiently watched and waited, certain that our tardiness in this area would eventually work itself out. More recently, we've all seen reports of an encouraging nature.
