I just thought after reading your article about Wednesday night’s Lakeport Unified School District Board meeting that you should have all, or at least more info than was reported by you.

You see, most of what your article is regarding happened after a good amount of people left because we thought the meeting was over. After, of course, we heard the good news. But it apparently got reopened and much was said against our new board with no one to speak of the good our board is trying to accomplish.

We should all understand it’s gonna be a long road and it saddens me that with them just winning the election that they are being treated badly and not being given a fair chance. Of course they are gonna make mistakes, but grateful that they are open to admitting to their mistakes and apologizing and learning as they grow as a team.

I know countless people in our community that are very happy with what has been done so far and have faith that we are now moving in a good direction for our children and staff at Lakeport Unified. It has been broken for too long and realize it’s not gonna be fixed overnight but I trust in our new board to do their best for our community.
