Thanks, add – Not so hot here in the front row because one of those fretful TV crews opened the door next to the board table for a while, letting in cold air, and loud train noise. To editorialize, as many have said before, the timing on all this is really just awful – the hundreds of people in here tonight having to sit through this meeting (board members and district staff included) when instead a lot of pre-Thanksgiving running around needs to be done … and now, added to the holiday preps, there’s the “OMG, what are we going to do about the changes at our kids’ school?” concerns. There are some timing factors like labor contracts and whatnot but still.
