Last night we had another meeting at my house. John Stephens our wayward neighbor now living in Northern Talega, was gracious enough to stop by and give an update on the what the Kids Count Foundation is doing.
It was suggested by John that there are not enough trustee votes to pass Superintendent Carter's Option B. Since it could still be passed it is important that we (Seaside, Solona, Carmel, Trinidad, Mendocino, and Pinnacle Talega) show up in force for the January 23rd District Hearing (see previous post for date, time, and location) and state that we are not in favor of Option B. We do not have to state that we are for any other option, just that Option B is not an acceptable option. More to come on that in the coming days.
John gave some background regarding the foundation, why it was formed, what its purpose is, etc.
John stated that foundation is 100% behind us and will continue their efforts with their trustee contacts. They are to be meeting with the trustees to discuss various options and to get an understanding of what the trustees will and will not support.
He stated, and I concur, there is no perfect solution.
After John left, I went over the plan of attack for spreading the word in Seaside. Georgain (sp?) informed me that she spent part of the day canvasing Carmel and informing them of what was going on. Turns out they had no idea, but support our efforts 100%.
