Beyond the Microphone: What Really Matters at the Local School Board Meetings (The Remix Edition)
Send us a text
Ever sat through a meeting so pointless you could feel your life force slowly draining away? That's exactly what happened when our local school board gathered for what can only be described as "The Meeting That Time Forgot."
For a painful 42 minutes, we witnessed the superintendent transform into Captain Blabbermouth, delivering a speech that managed to announce "Spring is here" as though he'd personally arranged the changing of seasons. Meanwhile, truly remarkable achievements were relegated to footnotes in this administrative circus. Student scientists conducting groundbreaking research in biochemistry and physics barely received a mention, while two wrestling champions—including Aaron with his jaw-dropping 180 career wins—weren't celebrated until halfway through the monologue.
Most shocking was the treatment of Council Rock South's cardiac emergency team, who literally saved a student's life with quick AED and CPR action. This heroic act was buried as "action item seven," appearing after less urgent matters like renaming the tech department to "Education Systems of Information" (a change that surely sent ripples through Silicon Valley). All while board member Al Funk sat alone in the corner, contributing nothing but his apparently questionable breath to the proceedings.
The entire spectacle culminated with the superintendent attempting to read calendar dates, resulting in what can only be described as a verbal blue screen of death. "Thursday, March 27th, no April 3rd... no wait... 5pm, no 5am..." Control-Alt-Delete, brain rebooted.
Listen now to hear the full breakdown of this administrative theater and join us in wondering: when did we start prioritizing endless thank-yous over celebrating the students and staff who actually make our schools worth talking about?
