During a recent government meeting, community members expressed their deep dissatisfaction with the local school board's handling of issues surrounding the superintendent, who has been accused of demonstrating biases against Native families. A petition with over 200 signatures demanding the superintendent's removal was presented, emphasizing that this issue will persist and cannot be ignored.

One speaker criticized the board's assertion that their decision regarding the superintendent was correct, labeling it as authoritarian and out of touch with community sentiments. They argued that it is the community's right and responsibility to question decisions that affect their children’s education, particularly in relation to indigenous education, which they feel is undervalued by the board.

Another speaker, Sunny Redbear, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the inadequate accountability measures taken against the superintendent. Redbear questioned the board's loyalty, urging them to prioritize the needs of students over maintaining their own positions of power. The call for stronger leadership and genuine accountability resonated throughout the meeting, with community members demanding a commitment to equity and justice for all students, particularly those from Native backgrounds.

The discussions reflect a growing frustration within the community regarding the school board's responsiveness to their concerns, signaling a potential shift in local governance dynamics as residents seek to hold their leaders accountable.
