Mayor Kahl

Really Mr. Kahl?

I am very disappointed that you felt the need to use public resources to promote what I feel is misleading information. For those that are not aware, Mr. Kahl had uniformed police officers distributing a flyer today regarding the district listening sessions. Please see the flyer at Peter Sobol's blog.

The school board has had discussions on potentially consolidating Maywood and Winnequah at previous meetings. It was discussed briefly at the Jan. 13th meeting and the board asked for more information, which led to it not being included in the surveys that we completed. It was on the staff survey, because they had some more detailed discussions internally.

There was discussion at the Jan. 27th meeting where even more information was requested. Then last night we had more discussions regarding this issue. This potential change was not listed on the preliminary reduction list from because "Has not been discussed in detail by the board". I agree with that statement as we did just receive more information last night. Does that mean this potential consolidation had not been discussed? Not in my opinion, as it was an on-going point of discussion.

I appreciate the help that we will get from this for getting district residents to attend the listening sessions. Mayor Kahl making this about 1 issue is unfortunate as we have many potential cuts and all will impact our students.

POINT OF CLARIFICATION

I may or may not agree with Mayor Kahl's distribution, my opinion does not count as I am not a resident of Monona. My displeasure with his flyer was the shock and awe theme to it.
