Most items that come before the school board are fairly routine, but some issues are complicated. For the complicated issues, especially issues which may be contentious, I like to write out my arguments ahead of the meeting so that my fellow board members, attendees, administration and the press have a sense of why I am proposing what I am proposing, or voting a certain way. In addition, the board updates each other on various committees that we serve on, both in Worthington and at the regional and state levels. This is a list of those speeches and updates.
