Fayetteville School Board Plans Patron Discussion Meetings
By THE MORNING NEWS
FAYETTEVILLE -- The Fayetteville School Board plans a series of meetings for public comments on issues affecting the school district.
The first meeting is scheduled at 6 p.m. July 8 at Woodland Junior High School. In addition to public comment, Fred Turrentine, the director of physical plant services, will present information on ongoing construction projects at Asbell, Butterfield Trail and Washington elementary schools as well as Woodland Junior High School and the Adult Education Center.
Board member Tim Kring, who will lead the first meeting, said the meetings are intended to inform patrons and allow patrons to interact with board members.
The meetings will be similar in format to zone meetings which several school board members conducted in the past.
The meetings will continue on the second Tuesday of each month through December. All of the meetings, except for one in August, will be in the Woodland cafeteria. The Aug. 12 meeting will be in the large group room at the school.
Meetings generally will focus on one or two specific topics of broad interest to district patrons, followed by time to allow patron-board discussion of any items from the floor.
Each meeting will be moderated by one or more board members, and the topics for the next month will be developed by attendees.

Too little, too late. The school board and school administration have shown their lack of interest in public input. This make-good attempt will draw crowds, I hope. But the crowds will be more cynical than ever about having their views considered.
