Prior to moving to CA, we lived in Davis County for many years and we've always missed living there...this is very sad to hear...those board members were elected by the citizens of that county and as the PARENTS OF THE STUDENTS living in that area, and as tax paying citizens, they have the right to speak at these meetings. It looks like your school board has a policy that is much like the mess in Washington...it doesn't matter what the PEOPLE want, you will be TOLD how it's going to be. Bullying isn't just in the classroom...apparently it's more rampant in politics. Good luck with your upcoming election, I hope you can get the right people in there!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519118118079366517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675381354098914652.post-44765747736569595672014-01-04T19:26:05.893-07:002014-01-04T19:26:05.893-07:00It's Davis County as a whole.

Your presence will be noticed!<br />2. Jump through the current hoops to request permission to speak in board meeting. They will not reject your request forever.<br />3. Be aware that this March is the date when candidates must file to run for Davis School Board in districts 3, 5, 6 and 7. I plan to run for re-election in district 3. I think David Lovato will seek re-election in district 5. Burke Larsen has said he will not run again in district 6. I expect Tamara Lowe will run again in district 7. Support candidates who have your perspective in the coming election. Especially rally others to support good candidates for Davis School board.

Reading back through your posts it is really disappointing to read how some issues are being handled through the school board. Thank you for bringing them to light. Do you have suggestions for the community/parents on what we can do?

Larry, in my opinion, listened to my concerns and tried very hard to address them. Superintendent Bowles and Tamera Lowe made it very clear that "normal" people can't possibly know as much as they do, or are not intelligent enough to understand what they do know, and are therefore unqualified to voice an opinion or a concern. <br /><br />So frustrating!

Thanks, Mr. Cannon, for sharing this information. I've shared it on my FB page. I'm amazed that parents and citizens haven't already made an issue of this.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850769077153862168noreply@blogger.com
