Breaking News: Monte resigns from school board

In the copy of board materials I just received for this Wednesday's school board meeting, one of the items listed on the agenda, under Board/Administrative Reports, is: "Acknowledgment of Board of Education Member Michelle Monte’s Resignation." Her letter of resignation is also included in the packet.

While I applaud Mrs. Monte for stepping down for whatever reasons she feels necessary, it is once again too bad that she can let the district directly know of her intentions, but not the public whom she has asked for years to entrust her with this elected position. And while she may at some point say something on her blog, it will be too little too late. Perhaps it doesn't matter anyway: Her actions, or lack thereof, toward the people she was elected to represent seem to pretty much say it all.
