Claims there is a lack of respect, trust and open communication
Board representative Deb McCasland made several observations about how poorly the district governing board was functioning at the January 10, 2016 meeting. Her written comments were made in response to various monitoring questions put to board members prior to the meeting and are contained in the agenda that is on the district website.
The following is some of what Ms. McCasland wrote:
“We [the board members] are fragmented and inefficient. The resignation of two District 3 Board members in two years is a sad example of how disjointed we have become.”
“. . . I do not experience open communications, trust, nor respect on the Board with reference to Dr. Wills. There should be more in depth communications with broader and specific financial data on budget matters. There should be no surprises nor unanswered questions, especially with reference to Capital Improvement projects.”
“We need to dump the Carver Model and the Board needs to resume the legal directives of Board members. Board driven strategic plan that includes specific and measurable goals, thorough budget reports, Board approval of administrative hires, Board approval for expenditures above a set limit, etc.”
