For the sake of our kids

We have a great pool of talented parents here. So I think the best way for avoiding the conflict and complaining is try to call these parents participating more and more. Show up from the shadow, at least positively in voting the board members, so the competent members really represent parents, students, and school, instead of some person without any ability. We trust a functional board will select a competent, creative principal for us.

Second, to avoid the mess, the principal should not have the right to control both the human resources and money. Her/His responsibility is to raise the good proposal for the board, once the board agreed, the proposal has to be performed accordingly. No any secret hiding, the most qualified teacher should get the best pay. not qualified person has to be replaced for the sake of our kids. All the money flow should be open to the accounting person in the admin and the board members. In fact the money flow should be monitored by these person. What's the "privacy"?"what's the interest conflict? The transparancy is the only way to avoid this kind of issue, and that is the only way to make the school money flow running in the normal track. A reasonable cash flow is a must for school for sure, but there must be something wrong behind an unnormal phenomenon. That will cause someone to lie. And that will raise a series of problem, like huge amount CD.

So I call those talented parents again to involve more about the school issues, at least in selecting the board members, and the principal, because they are representing us to make the decissions. They should be real qualified person to deal with the school issues. Most importantly, they must know who they are!!!

For the sake of our kids.
