About This Blog

Why write this blog? It sure isn’t because I have loads of time on my hands!

When I first joined the Board, we were going over evaluations of ourselves and the District. One of the areas that we said needed continuous improvement was public relations and engagement. Our county has many people with no familial connections to school students, and we even struggle reaching out to and informing those who have such connections. I thought this blog would be an easy way for people to just check in. I will post updates on upcoming events and summaries of recent meetings. I’ll weigh in on some decisions we’ve made and give some opinions. I will often be informal in my speech, but I assure you I take my position on the Board of Education very seriously. But a blog is a good place to cut through the formality and say it like it is. I hope to do that here.

I HAVE to emphasize that this is a personal effort, that I do NOT check what I am posting with anyone else in the District, and that they can NOT be held accountable for what I choose to post here. This is very important. Please understand this.

Changing of the Guard

North Fork schools are getting quite a shake up in leadership this coming year. We have several teachers and administrators leaving us, including Brent Curtice (Paonia Jr/Sr High School Principal), Cindy Swartzendruber (Paonia Jr/Sr High School Assistant Principal and Counselor), and Helen Groome (Crawford Principal).

I have only been on the Board of Education for a little over a year. These wonderful educators have been working hard for our students much longer than that. I am very sad we won't have them with us next year, but I wish them well in their future endeavors and thank them with true sincerity for the good they have done. We will miss you!
