The whole board should be recalled! Not for their positions, but for their inability to simple sit at the table and do the job they were elected to do. I happen to agree with the reformers and personally think they need to go further than they could dream possible. But without a single leader capable of bringing people to the table, they are just wasting the districts time. I want to see a leader come out, union or non-union, who can bring the positions to the table, make decisions, and move the district forward. Until then... it's business as usual. @cheryl- I said this more than a year ago. The whole board should be recalled!

Stobak, White and Jacobsen have had to make some tough decisions keeping the best interests of the children at the forefront. Perhaps Davis, Murray, Hier and the unions (especially thte teacher union) should operate under this statement: It is the board's job to make decisions that are for the betterment of the district and its students - NOT THE UNIONS.
