Mr. Schmidt: comment on this email, please. Ldd
Mr. Woodard:
I don’t know how much more of a patsy Schmidt could be for the administration than Susan and April are. They went in promising miracles and are too scared to say boo to Ms. Elia or the other board members. Just because Schmidt is an administrator doesn’t make it impossible for him to rear up and become independent on the board. I am willing to see what he can do.Susan has had two years and had done nothing. Absolutely nothing. She won’t even speak and ask questions of the administration on the podium so that the public can know what is going on.
Susan’s most outstanding gesture has been her $50,000 travel budget. That’s unforgivable when there are poor children in the district without money to buy supplies for school projects. I’m ready to see if a former administrator has better sense.
Expand on your knowledge of Schmidt’s certain collusion with Elia et al. I say throw the dice. We know for sure that Susan won’t act on the public’s behalf. We haven’t yet seen what Schmidt will do. lee drury de cesare

Dear Ms. DeCesar:
Putting Dave Schmidt on the Hillsborough School Board would do nothing but give your nemesis Mary Ellen Elia a reliable "yes" vote for whatever she wanted to do. How can you possibly think it's a good idea to elect a district administrator on an elected board whose primary actual function is to keep the district administration honest and occasionally tell it "NO!"? With Schmidt on the board, the chances of that happening would be less than they are now.
So you're disappointed in the actions of a politician. Join the rest of us in the real world, and congratulations for finally making it here. Susan Valdes and April Griffin do a very good job of clearing the very low bar set by the current board majority, and it would not become you to let your dudgeon

I wish people in Hillsborough would wake up and vote all the board members out as they come up for re-election. If there were a couple of election cycles in which the incumbents kept losing, it might make candidates wake up and realize that people want change. But this is a pipe dream. The incumbents usually win, because while in their position they rub elbows with everyone under the sun who will help them stay in the position.
Lee:
How about putting the rest of my letter on the blog? You cut me off mid-sentence. Surely a grammar grinch such as yourself can see how poorly that reflects on your publicly written words?
Let's bombard Elia and the board with those cards, Lina! Candy Olson especially acts like she is better than everyone. She deserves 2,000 cards. If she only knew that most people who watch the board meetings can't stand her.
Get your friends and family to use the URAjerk.com site to send comments to the superintendent and board!
Different set of rules, Mr Woodward. Lee and her buds can publish any poorly proofread text they wish, but if someone she doesn't like overlooks a comma, it's a felony.
