our past superintendent’s son and daughter, 2 board member’s children, and 2 current board members (one as a volunteer and one as a retired teacher). Unfortunately, your discussion won’t be about facts. What you will need is a network to plant the seeds of
why we are needed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is know what cards you may need to play and hopefully never play ‘em.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
