LAKELAND: School board mirrors NIC fiasco
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 3 weeks, 6 days AGO
The KCRCC rated and vetted candidates are costing taxpayers more money from their leadership. The Lakeland School Board voted to place the current superintendent on administrative leave for the remainder of his contract. Does this action remind you of the similar actions of the former NIC board which fired and hired at will?
The former Lakeland School Superintendent, Dr. Becky Meyers, was not rehired by the Lakeland School Board allowing the Lake Pend Oreille School to hire her as superintendent. She was named 2023 Idaho State Superintendent of the Year.
History seems to be repeating itself. The board’s KCRCC endorsed candidates make it difficult for schools to act in the best interest of students. Paying the salary for two superintendents takes dollars away from the education of our students. We demand that our hard-earned tax dollars are used for student learning.
The current NIC school board is returning the college to its past “Gem of Idaho” status. Maybe it is time for Lakeland School Board members to resign. A competent board could lead Lakeland back to its “GEM” status.
Voters, please do your research. The KCRCC rating and vetting system is wasting tax dollars.
It’s just “COMMON CENTS!”
