IF you have valid reasons then what are they? And what leadership does this board bring to the table? What are your personal qualifications Barb? Perception is reality and the perception that this board is giving off is that they want to prove that hey have power. This “feel sorry for me” letter to the editor is weak if all you can come up with is “I am the board and the board is me”! This sounds petty at best. WHAT ARE THE FACTS??!! What are you hiding from this community that justifies your actions?? The more time that passes without answers to these questions, the worse it will get for you people! If you want support then you need to have the courage to be HONEST and you need to start exhibiting some actual leadership traits. I have yet to see this.

I have an answer to Mrs. Thompson’s question. She asks how do you mediate with a superintendent who makes the comment “I am the board and the board is me” ? The anser is very simple - WITH A MEDIATOR. The mediator would correct the superintendent and tell him that those remarks are out of line. That he is NOT the board but needs to work with the board. It would be that easy. If Dr. Williams made that comment then I, a Williams supporter, will admit that he was at fault in regard to that comment. But Mrs. Thompson thinks this remark warrants termination of a very successful career?

I have tried to contact each of the four board members several times by phone who have voted to terminate Dr. Williams, and not one has returned a call to hear what I a Perry township voter views are.
So Ms.Thompson is telling me my opinion doesn’t concern her, and apparently only what she thinks and wants is important.
