I will be the first to admit I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. However, I have to tell you this one. As you know, I been attempting to pull a index of school board members in the attempt to have the members a way to converse across the districts for ideas, ect. I happen to find out our area is district 14. On the ossba.org site there are 2 contacts listed. I called one of them to inquire what their roles are. I found out they were considered directors of the district, voted in by the other districts school board members. Hmm, ok a person of information. I explained to him my history of inquiry with no answers and asked if he was aware of any index of contacts. Nope, he doesn't believe it exists. I could ask OSSBA. I informed him, I already went down that road. So this was another dead end. Then he stated the district has 2 meetings a year for a chance all school board members within the district to get together. Perhaps I could attend and bring it up or make some contacts that way. OK so I asked the obvoius question. How does the members get notified of the when/where/ to attend? He answered very quickly. Oh, the OSSBA sends out a letter to all the board members with that information..... OK, I repied, that would be an indication they had a index of contacts. Only silence from the other end of the phone.

We had our last PTA meeting last night. I for one am glad of it. We were in and out within 30 minutes. Fortunately no hassle from anyone. I will be the treasurer for next school year as well. Guess, I am doing something right on that part. ( smile )

2 days after today, before we leave for Arizona. I need to get some stuff down around the house, big time. I was on support for work yesterday, hence no time to do anything else.
