If the main problem has been the lack of responsiveness of the BVSD board, how does creating two boards help the problem?
The past ten years have proven that changing the board does not change the culture or the results. Localizing would create two governing boards with more representation from each community and less “big picture” averaging of decisions. No longer would the east county’s needs be balanced against the west. Under the current structure, decisions must be watered down and applied equally to all areas, with the net result being little improvement at all. This district represents 11 communities, three counties and 500 square miles of geographical area that is over 60 miles from one end to the other. With the populations increasing in each community, the problems will only get worse.
