They stuck it out to the bitter end, after a two hour football presentation and discussion and another hour of audit, etc. (Great job on the audit, Sue!) <br /><br />Glen Miller gave a good pitch (pass?) on football. Krista tried to get a club team approved in what was supposed to be her last board meeting. That would have got football into ORHS and it wouldn't have to be re-approved for a couple of years, when the club turns varsity. That was moving too fast so they approved a parent survey and other stuff to keep the ball rolling. But there's a pretty good chance ORHS is getting a football program. The Megan thing makes some sense now -- too many doctors and doctors spouses might mean no football, and rumor is Carl's kid plays football. <br />ORCSDcleanslatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304668262841873199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366233659170283749.post-9589995970662561772013-03-06T18:17:54.230-05:002013-03-06T18:17:54.230-05:00To the best of my knowledge Carl Piedmont has not ...To the best of my knowledge Carl Piedmont has not attended any regular school board meetings.

Was he at the deliberative session? Dean said that he called out Mr. Piedmont's name so that he could meet him, but that no one answered. I don't know why you would not go to the Deliberative Session if you are running for School Board.<br /><br />I know Dr. Rotner was there, as was Tom Newkirk (who is already serving, so obviously he attends the meetings!) I'm not sure anyone has been as actively involved in School Board matters as Kenny Rotner. He is about as dedicated as anyone I have ever seen to our schools.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896185855308028393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366233659170283749.post-25147342452485374522013-03-06T13:15:21.656-05:002013-03-06T13:15:21.656-05:00Mr. Piedmont also said that he is "experience...Mr. Piedmont also said that he is "experienced at student teaching."

I've edited it lightly as part of my long term project to groom John for his run for governor. - Dean<br /><br />Please ask each candidate what his personal views are on evolution, creation and intelligent design, and the place of each in a HS curriculum. The personal views part is important. Everyone has a right to their beliefs, but I'd like to know what they are to help me decide who to vote for. Second, I would like to know specifically and in detail what "initiatives to keep drugs and alcohol out of our schools" he would "promote". [The words in quotes are from CP's campaign site, but it's a general question.] Ideally, I'd like him each of them to address the balance between such initiatives and the long-standing OR tradition of respect for our students. As an example, would the candidate consider bringing drug-sniffing dogs into ORHS -- at the risk of destroying the bond of trust and mutual respect that exists?<br />ORCSDcleanslatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304668262841873199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1366233659170283749.post-83476946508438714802013-03-06T08:42:46.571-05:002013-03-06T08:42:46.571-05:00I would like to ask Mr. Piedmont what it means to ...I would like to ask Mr. Piedmont what it means to "have skin in the game"? I've heard this phrase often in our district, but I'm not clear what the intention or understanding of the phrase means to him.
