Letters To The Editor – I Apologize

By

To the Editor:
During the BOE meeting last week I made statements that went against principles that I have been attempting to embrace for many years. The principle is to not let the negative actions of a few overshadow the positive actions of the majority.
My frustration with many of the challenges we face as a [School] Board presently related to the education of the children in this District affected my objectivity to the extent that I let the actions of a few overshadow the many positive actions of the majority.
To the majority of the staff of this District who do their best every day to help and educate the children of this District I apologize. Thanks for all you do!
Sincerely,
John Nash
BCS School Board Member
