School board post
This comment was received tonight...
"I for one am looking forward to the forthcoming elections for the Academy School Board. Perhaps then we will get a Board that asks the parents what they want, rather than what the Board themselves want. The site of the new school was the single biggest issue ( after the amalgamation) to affect not only pupils, families and Bishopbriggs for a generation. The fact that the Board made no attempt to canvass the opinion of parents was dereliction of duty and none of them deseve to be re-elected. I think as many parents as possible should stand for election to ensure that no one is elected unopposed and existing members are forced to justify their actions over this decision."
As a previous member of this board I have to admit that more should have been done to include the parents view. But, I also know that not all members of the present board agree with the way this situation has been handled.
School boards are about to be phased out let's hope that parents come forward and have their say...
