Edison Local School Board Meeting Cancelled

You would think with all the turmoil going in the Edison Local School District the elected officials would not cower in corner and actually face the public on their mistakes, but that is exactly what they are doing. The Board Meeting scheduled for Thursday November 15th was cancelled. Of course we do not have a solid reason for this yet, but I am sure Lisa Carmichael and her band of Merry Men will concoct a story worthy of debate.

These are elected official, meaning they are elected by the public to serve the public and when the public wants answers they are to provide them. PERIOD! This does not mean do what you want, when you want with out any regard for the people who elected you. I think it's time for Lisa Carmichael and the Edison Board to get that through there thick skulls. They have repeatedly done what they wanted in their own interest, such as raises for themselves, ratifying contacts that they wanted in place, changing health care insurance providers and the list goes on. These are just a few of the incidents we are aware of and I am sure there are plenty more. If you know of any please feel free to let us know in your comments. Oh and don't forget the fact that they managed to negotiate a nice contract for OAPSE members? How many members of OAPSE are related in some way to Lisa Carmichael and the board members? I'll let you answer that question :-).

Politics is Politics is Politics just about everywhere you go, but it seems to me that this school board has taken that meaning to a whole new height of ignorance. The American public is use to elected officials lining their own pockets whenever they choose to do so. The members of the Edison Local School District seem to think they are above the ridicule of the public, they believe they can just do as they please with no repercussions whatsoever, they believe they can line their own pockets whenever they choose to and leave our teachers hang out to dry. What is being done about this seriously? There are plenty of groups out there that have voiced their opinion, there are several people out there that talk a good game but are not producing results. It's time to take serious action against the Edison Local School Board.

One group that we have found to be very resourceful and full of energy to get things done is a group of people who have organized a Yahoo Group to discuss and organize a plan of action. If you would like to be involved in this group please visit the yahoo Group Unite for Our Kids here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UniteForOurKids/

The Unite For Our Kids Group is a group of concerned parents, teachers, students and taxpayers that are committed to taking back control of the Edison Local School District from a divided school board. This Community Action Group started from the actions and inactions of the Board and Superintendent that have put the District into a downward spiral. Their ongoing disregard for board by-laws and state laws, as well as the flippant waste of taxpayer's dollars must be opposed in an effort to regain control of Edison Local School District. They are determined to bring together all parents, teachers, students and taxpayers to right the wrongs that have taken place in this District for so long. For only then may we move on, and only then can the trust resurface which has so long been forgotten.

We are committed to helping their cause and believe they have the fortitude to go the distance in making a difference. OhioValleyBlog.com is Part of the OhioValleyNow.com network and we intend on using our extensive membership base and steady stream of visitors top gain support for their cause.
