We can e-mail or call the county government election official tomorrow and see what they have to say  about that?


This is first I have heard of it being by mail. Never heard it mentioned or voted on at any of the school board meetings. Which should have been done. A motion, a second and a majority vote and posted in the School Board Minutes.

Perhaps there will be something in the Prairie Star tomorrow.

Perhaps this needs to be questioned on the State Level, unless of course one of the School Board Members cares to come on here and explain.

Let's see if any of the School Board Members has the guts to talk with the taxpayers!

Who will step up to the plate?

Thank you oldfart.

I called the court house this morning and talked with Vicky who confirmed that information.

Good points.

My guess would be the County Election Officer would do the counting to make it official.
That is what the School Board is paying the county something like 2 or 3 thousand dollars for.

I sure wish these so called leaders and supposedly educated folks would do some studying and learn how to run a decent public meeting. They should if really educated beyond 12th grade understand that a public meeting means speaking clearly at and speaking with enough volume to be heard by all. Also that a public meeting is not for private conversations. If there are any real educated men on the School Board when are they going to man up?

When are they going to have a real School Board Meeting versus a School Superintendent Meeting?

When are they going to man up and accept the responsibility of their elected office. When will they grow up and realize they are not in high school and remove the School Superintendent from the School Board. I don't see the School Principal sitting on the School Board, did they out grow the High School Principle?

When do they become leaders and stop following the School Superintendent?

When do they learn to make decisions on their own?

When do they man up and accept the responsibility they asked for?

There may be two, well at least one that fills the bill.

Just asking?

Wow!  Here we go.. in the back door and under the table... again.  Too lazy, or cheap, to get the issue put on the ballot?  Or 'selective voter manipulation'?
