Refreshing Attitude

By now we all know the school levy failed. In today's Tribune, Superintendent Cheryl Crawley has a short commentary about supporting the school district in this difficult time.

She was not condescending or critical of those who voted against it. In fact, she said she thinks the community is made up of good people who are currently hard hit with a variety of economic concerns. I have never heard her be negative toward those who were not convinced the levy was the way to go.

It has been very refreshing to witness the professionalism that she and members of the school board have exhibited. Board members Mr. Cahill and Mr. Erwin were polite and nonconfrontational when they visited the blogs, even though they were faced with criticisms and very real concerns about this issue.

If only the majority of the city commision would behave in the same manner.

The school administrator and board members have class, unlike an unfortunate few in city hall....
