I haven't attended the past 3 meetings, because it frustrates me greatly to watch 4 of our board members ignore the parents, teachers and community they serve. My services are needed more at home helping my children with homework and preparing for the next school day. Here is my question and concern that maybe I've missed somewhere else. We are over half way finished with his school year. What has our board accomplished for our children? Is this a wasted year for my 3 children enrolled in PT or is our district moving forward to better improve their education? I have a special needs child that will be entering high school next year. I would like to think that the board has her best interests, but I'm doubtful. I know her teachers do, and I believed Dr. Williams did also. I don't have time to waste.

I don't believe that they have the ability. Perception is reality and the perception is that they are simply incompetent.

Their main focus and priority is to drag Dr. Williams through the mud while fulfilling a personal vendetta. Nothing is accomplished at meetings, other than Mrs. Adams taunting and mocking the public, disrespecting her own fellow board members, disrespecting every teacher in MSDPT, and asking security to escort the concerned public out of the auditorium. The board cannot even be civil to one another, much less make plans for the future. They have tediously searched and searched every nook and cranny to find evidence of Dr. Williams' misconduct. It's a sad, sad time for Perry schools!

Then explain why our new interim Superintendent, with the support of the board, has proposed a new JV team for the special needs children in the township?! Because the BOARD DOES CARE! But they can't show this in the media because it's positive! Heaven forbid someone do something wonderful for Perry Township and it get noted! And it seems to me the only people getting dragged through the mud, at the hands of the Dr. Williams supporters, is the "gang of 4". And let's go into why nothing is accomplished at meetings-given how the last meeting went-how can the meetings go well if everything they do or say is mocked and laughed at?! That is the Take Back Perry Schools Protestors fault! Not the Board Members! Well, maybe Steve Maple and Gayle Houchins have a part in it as they like to incite the public against the board at any given opportunity. Really Kelly?

So take it how you want, it could be heresay, but I doubt it.

There is no defending the actions of these 4 in any logical way! Too bad!

Some examples would be: 1) verbal warning 2) written warning containing a specific time frame for corrective action 3) a meeting after said time frame to review and discuss corrective actions taken.

I think Dr Williams has proven over and over again-with other boards as well-that he does not follow this important policy-let alone does he support parents all the time (this would be the silent majority). That alone should have terminated him on top of all the other "illegal/unethical" practices that have been described to us through the perryinfo website.
