Missoula School Board Questions

Lemm isn't up for two years. (0.00 / 0)

and he really needs to go.  Sadler and Johns are both up this year.  Hirning in 2011.

Some are elected by districts.  Sadler is Target Range and Bonner, while Johns is Hellgate.

Target Range and Bonner? (0.00 / 0)

That's a district? Is it contiguous?

I had spoken with someone at the district (0.00 / 0)

back when the sign thing started, and all I can say is that is how she presented it to me - that some are elected by districts.  

I know.  It looks weird.  

Sorry - don't know more than that.

jhwygirl covered it (0.00 / 0)

but here's some additional info:

There are four seats up for election on May 5 of this year.  Filing deadline is March 26.

Two who voted to censor the film are up: Rick Johns (Hellgate School District -- that's Hellgate Elementary and Middle Schools, not Hellgate High) and James Sadler (Target Range and Bonner).  You're right Matt and jhwygirl, that is a strange district.

Nancy Pickhardt is also up.  She voted against the censorship.  And Jenda Hemphill's term expires this year but I've heard she's retiring.  By the way, due to illness, Ms. Hemphill missed the board meeting where they voted to censor.  Not sure why the other three board members missed that meeting: Scott Bixler, Debbie Dupree and Joe Toth.

You pull up the most obscure stuff (0.00 / 0)

Stuff I don't even think is out there.  And stuff, sometimes, that I've looked for and couldn't find.

Always amazes me how you do it.

Superintendent near Kalispell let go (0.00 / 0)

Hi Matt and all,

I do not have any knowledge of what transpired here, http://www.dailyinterlake.com/...

I do want to post the link as it is not everyday that parents will pack a school to protest the decisions their school board makes.

I have no comment at this time, merely a submission of information.
