Thanks to signers
I would like to thank the 220 citizens of the Hitchcock County School District for signing the Neighborhood Petition to save our Red Brick School Building.
There has been no action on this petition. I called the high school on July 1, 2011 to get on the agenda for the July 11, 2011 meeting. I was told I did not need to be on the agenda.
On Saturday July 2 Mary the high school secretary told me I would need to be on the agenda so at that time she put me on it. July 7, 2011 when the agenda was posted I was not on the agenda.
Mr. Apple had removed my name. The reason? I did not answer my phone when he called me three times and I did not go to the door when he came to my home. This was hard to believe.
Also, I would like to thank the people who carried the recall petitions and the 205 citizens that signed them.
On Monday evening, Sept. 12, 2011, the school board voted 5 to 1 not to accept the petitions. There was a problem with the signing of them. Shane Rippen followed the procedures provided by the Clerk of Hitchcock County.
Under the Constitution of the United States of America it is not only our right, but our duty to petition when we want to right a wrong.
United we stand
Divided we fall
