Upon reading Mitz Lee’s statement regarding Dr. Evans’ stance alongside with teachers, parents and their children, her remark, and I quote “It’s not my cup of tea to go to a rally and score points with one side,” she said. “It doesn’t solve problems.”
Isn’t it the role of a school board trustee to stand up for stakeholders to demand fair treatment by the legislators? After all, parents and teachers are also taxpayers. Why would our talented young people go into the teaching profession if they know that nobody will stand up for them when it matters?
