I believe very strongly in open discussion and debate within school board
meetings. There must, of course, be some exceptions, such as when contract
or other negotiations are in progress. But once decisions are made, the
outcome should be public information. In all other cases, such as in the
development of policy, all discussions should be open. As to accountability,
elections provide the surest form of accountability, since the choice of who
is elected is entirely in the hands of the voters. Between elections, it
must be the responsibility of those in office to provide information as to
what they are doing. It is, of course, also the responsibility of citizens
to ask questions that will provide the answers they are interested in.
