The same exact thing happened with the school uniform policy--surveys were sent out and not every parent received the survey, myself and other members of my family being one of them. Again, another change has been implemented and until WWAY made it news, I had no idea. With an elementary aged child, she gets sent home a folder daily but not one thing was mentioned there either. If the school board wants to allow parent's to have input, why not be fair and send a ballot home in the child's folder? Why send out a phone message as the only method of input from the parents? Not only do you have to rely on the call actually being made but you also have to rely on being home to get the call. People do WORK! Have some respect and let sound voices be heard! Publicize the meeting and what is being voted on--don't leave it all behind closed doors.
