Also encourages Board to accept members’ diversity of views
Second District Representative Deb McCasland continues to urge the members of the Governing Board to consider open discussions about the future of the College and to respect diverse opinions. The self-evaluation conducted by the Board at the end of the January meeting reflects McCasland’s concern with these issues. Since elected in 2014, McCasland has consistently made these suggestions to the Board. So far, the Board has refused to openly discuss the future of the College other than to touch on it in its vague ends statements that shed little actual light on the issue. Ray Sigafoos and Pat McCarver appear dead set against discussing the future of the College in any concrete way that would give citizens a hit of its direction. However, McCarver seemed to grasp McCasland’s point on open discussion and respect for different points of view.
