During a recent government meeting, tensions surfaced regarding the scheduling of committee meetings, particularly involving Misses Baker, the committee chair, and Misses Chilla. A resident expressed concerns that Misses Baker was intentionally scheduling meetings at times that would exclude Misses Chilla, suggesting a personal bias rather than a collaborative approach to improving the school system.

The resident emphasized the importance of inclusivity in committee discussions, arguing that every elected member should have the opportunity to contribute ideas, regardless of personal opinions about them. This sentiment was echoed by other community members who were consulted about the situation.

In response, Misses Baker defended her actions by reading an email she had sent to committee members, detailing her efforts to accommodate their schedules. She explained that she had requested unavailable dates from the committee and had only received limited responses. Ultimately, she scheduled the meetings based on the availability provided by Misses Chilla and another member, Mister Ross.

The exchange highlighted ongoing concerns about transparency and collaboration within the committee, with implications for student achievement and community trust in the educational governance process. The meeting underscored the necessity for open dialogue and cooperation among board members to ensure that all voices are heard in the decision-making process.
