Good morning, Whitewater
The Whitewater Landmarks Commission meets today at 5:00 p.m. The agenda for the meeting is available online.
There’s an executive session of the School Board tonight, and under our law, that type of meeting is closed to the public. Interestingly, in my most recent pop quiz poll of concerns facing Whitewater (admittedly a self-selecting pool), of all the people who wrote to me, not a single one mentioned any educational concerns. That’s not a good sign, actually.
One might wish to contend that it shows that there are no educational concerns facing Whitewater. On the contrary, I think it’s impossible not to have concerns about education, as a matter of course, in any successful school district. More than anything else, I would guess lack of response is a reflection of the power — however unfortunate — of a fly-under-the-radar, no-news-is-good-news, and what-little-news-there-is-is-good-news District Administrator’s approach.
I could be wrong, of course. Yet, ask yourself this question: Do you know where your District Administrator is today, what initiatives she has advanced, or might advance in the months ahead during which she is still employed, and responsible for public education in this community?
Well, there we are.
