Two residents used the public comment period at the Glenrock Board of Education meeting, which began at 6:01 p.m., to praise candor around a recent evaluation and to sharply criticize the district's leadership and student-performance trends.

At the start of public comment, a resident who identified herself as Elizabeth and gave an address on Hamilton thanked the board "for their, truthful and extremely hard evaluation process" and singled out Dr. Robinson for her leadership: "I also specifically want to thank Doctor. Robinson for her leadership. I've seen over the last few years under your leadership, how you've grown, your strength, your tenacity, your confidentiality." The resident also said she did not know whether a rights notice had been issued regarding the chief school administrator's hiring: "This chief school administrator, I'm not sure if there was a rights notice given or not, so was hired... There was not. So I won't say a name."

Randy Plumburg, who said he lives at 87 Chadwick Place and that he is a former trustee, told the board he watched the July 1 meeting and was "deeply disturbed with the evaluation," adding, "I think this type of behavior from a CSA and a school district that has been slipping does not happen in 1 year." Plumburg said he was "appalled that our district is in the situation it is right now" and called on the board to account for how the district reached its present condition.

Board members did not respond during the public comment period; the presiding board member noted at the meeting that the board does not comment on personnel matters during public session and invited residents to follow up by email. The board closed public comment at 6:06 p.m.

Why it matters: Commenters tied concerns about leadership and evaluation to district performance trends and staff turnover. Those issues are central to board oversight of the district's administration and may shape future agenda items or staff reviews.

Context and next steps: The board distributed a meeting notice on July 21, 2025, and opened a three-minute public-comment window at about 6:03 p.m.; two speakers used the allotted time. The meeting later moved to a closed session to discuss legal matters, according to the board (see separate article on the closed-session vote).
