## Resource

Laura Williams, a veteran board member, resigned after nearly four years, citing mounting frustration with the board’s disorganization, policy drift, and unproductive meetings — culminating in her objection to a Superintendent’s presentation on teacher neutrality, which she felt unfairly targeted educators who helped evacuate a child. While the superintendent and chair defended the presentation as a public reassurance, Williams called for better training, transparency, and accountability — all ignored, she said, until her departure. Her exit joins a troubling trend of board turnover, with past members blaming interpersonal clashes over systemic issues. With her seat now open, applications close July 5th, interviews July 8th, and a new appointee needing to win a March election to stay on, the district faces a pivotal moment in leadership and direction.
