Speaker(s):
Board Chair
Discussion:
Mr. Glen DeVore, 1890 Hwy 100, Centerville, TN. spoke to the board and expressed his opinion. I think we've lost sight of our core values. I think we're getting too political. My opinion is we got three core values and should be safety from the time the kids get on the bus till they get off the bus. They should be well-educated and fed. That doesn't involve feeding the parents. It doesn't involve providing transportation to the Banana Pudding Festival. It needs to be run like a business. An example was provided. We need to get back to doing what we do, educating and get out of the politics.
