LAKELAND BOARD: Inaction and indecision

| January 15, 2025 1:00 AM

Michelle Thompson, Ramona Grissom and David Quimby just committed Lakeland School District to another year of chaos, indecision and financial distress by re-electing Thompson as board chair. Thompson’s statement that she has “no personal goals as the board chair” tells you everything you need to know about her leadership. Her plan to let the board decide together sounds like more of the same inaction and indecision in the face of a financial crisis.  

Let me suggest to you that as the elected leader of the board, your personal goal should be to bring a thoughtful and decisive plan to the floor that maintains the integrity of education programs and facilities our constituents can support in a timely manner.
