School Board Meeting Recap

It was a wonderful evening listening to so many passionate people at Our Community’s Board of Education meeting. Each asking our board members to please place kindness, compassion and dignity as our school district’s number one mission. Below is a letter written from Colleen O’Connor-Potter, one of the many speakers from the evening.

“My hope is that Our Community’s Board of Education truly listened to the passionate people that spoke this evening. That they will act and show everyone that they do represent our community on this very important topic. A common character core of kindness for everyone to live by who interacts in our schools at any level, would truly lead the way to excellence for years to come. Our school district has been asked to ‘pay it forward’ not only for Saratoga Springs, but for other school districts to emulate. Everyone benefits.”

“What we need is an agreement that a change in behavior is necessary where all adults hold each other accountable for their words, their behaviors and their actions without fear of professional repercussions or backlash.”
