[QUOTE="Andy, post: 182504, member: 5096"] How unprofessional for the school secretary to represent the school. I would think a statement like that should come from someone in higher position than herself. Her words should not be used with the school's backing. Who is she to make the decision on the school's stand? I agree with you that the bus service would go beyond the school. How many people would use it for work and shopping? If the school authorities (not secretary who is only a secretary not to make decisions such as this) is afraid of loosing students, the answer is in increasing the quality and quantity of education. Meet the needs of those who choose to go elsewhere. Hire staff who will work with parents to meet the children's needs. I would respectfully dismiss the secretary position as having authority in her statments and as you fight for the bus line simply tell her that you will only debate those in real authority when it comes to her comments on the school. If the School Board agrees with her, then the school board must make those statements not her. She can of course make her own personal statements but do not hide behind the school without proper backing. That goes for all school staff members - no one should be using their position to represent the school without approval from the school board - and the school board should not allow anyone to represent the school on anything - they need to do their own talking. I know in my job, if there is any public discussion on anything, I am not allowed to talk to the press or say anything about it as an employee. I need to refer all questions to Human Resources. We have a public relations person to make any public statements. [/QUOTE]
