Please do not Forget the School Board Meeting Tonight.
School Board Meeting tonight at the Croydon School. Please attend and let your voice be heard.
It is hard to let your voices be heard when no one calls on you when you have your hand raised.
This is not referring to Jim. I took the night off from work to attend. I couldn't afford to do it, but I couldn't afford not to. My grandson's education is important to me.
So my questions either went ignored, or no one knew the answer when one was asked.
The latest "emergency" about having the fire system installed in the town hall ticked me off. Not because of the cost but because of the following.
1. This was not new to the school board as acknowledged by Selectman John Clements. The school board knew this was required last year before the new budget was approved this spring. It should have been included.
2. How come the SAU had an estimate dated March 17. Too late for the current budget, and before the Fire Inspector came for inspection last week?

Seems slimy to me.
