Thank you for publishing my Guest Opinion. As your guest, I would like to remind your readers that my guest opinion was simply that — my opinion.
While our superintendent did request that board members speak out to the public regarding the budget, I did not mean to have my letter published in a manner that implied I was speaking for the board as a whole rather than in my personal capacity.
Board Policy 0146 states quite clearly: “A board member shall not represent his/her personal opinion as the position of the board and shall include in all formal expressions in which his/her board affiliation is likely to be recognized, such as letters to government officials or newspapers, a statement that the opinions expressed do not necessarily represent those of the board.”
