Wilson School Board Watch

We seek to change the makeup of the board, not to create an echo chamber but to restore balance to the board. To restore respect to the board for the position. To restore proper representation.

Did you know ALL board members cross-party files on your voting ballot? This means that it's very likely board members you have voted for, if you simply voted along party lines, have likely never represented you or your children at all. Some may argue the reason for cross-filing is to keep politics out of the school board meeting room. If one were to review meetings over the last year they would find instances where politics are front and center.

As some board members are not able to keep politics out of the board room it is a question we are asking, is cross filing good for our community? Does it enable the voter to make a truly educated decision? And by the way, where do we get to go for this type of information? Are there open debates and forums readily available for voters to educate themselves? For these reasons, and many others we seek change in the leadership and direction of the board as a whole.

Further, do you even know who your board members are? Which political party are they actually registered to? (Important as some have not been able to keep politics out of the board room) You wouldn't know because even something as simple as a bio on the district website isn't offered. 

Because fundamentally this board shapes the future success of our community. They create the basis by which our community works together, respects one another and makes Wilson School District better year over year, generation over generation.

What score do you give them?

Are we improving our community year over year?

Are you happy with the educational experience and quality of education your child is getting?

Do you feel your tax dollars are being well invested into our community?

If you answer "NO" to any one of these questions please decide that it's time to get invovled.

Further, if you've ever had the following happen with your child, grandchild, niece or nephew in a Wilson School...

- Your child has been bullied
- Your child has suffered in the classroom with no resolution
- Your child has been held back by inaction by the administration
- Your child has been exposed to curriculum you don't agree with, without your knowledge
- Your child hasn't been give the chance to excel and succeed, and in turn given minimum effort
- You've been given contradicting information between teachers, administration and/or the board
- You feel the classroom takes over your role as a parent
- You feel some curriculum and teachings are too soon, too early
- You feel some teachings undermine the successes and life experiences your child lives and sees outside the school

Please Join Us and our efforts to create a school board that is the best representation of our community and its wishes.
