Seriously? Day Two

Wednesday, June 4, 2008 NEOC (New Era of Communication)
Eagle Ridge Academy Board of Directors' Communication Embargo
Day Two

Today's Eagle Ridge Academy Daily Chuckle relegated the Meet the Candidates Dog and Pony Show to an obscure calendar item yet left the transportation information up front for the second day in the row. I guess turning in those bus forms is so much more important than reminding folks about meeting the potential new director of Eagle Ridge Academy.

Where are Len Twetan and Jim Romportl, the co-chairs of the Eagle Ridge Academy Board of Directors Communication Committee? (Lest you be confused, the esteemed board has not one, but two Communication Committees ... really ... no seriously, I'm not kidding. The first committee was established for improving communication, and the board in its infinite wisdom decided that it needed ANOTHER committee for the sole purpose of improving board communication. Nope, couldn't be a subcommittee or anything of the first Communications Committee it had to be a brand spanking new committee.) Not that Twetan and Romportl have done much for improving communication as members of this second Communications Committee ... I haven't seen monthly updates, meeting updates, board minutes, etc. Occasionally, we are treated to a carrot on a stick like a jackass in the hopes that we will quit our braying and follow the board as they trudge down their uncharted path with nary a clue as to where they are headed.

Hello ... is anybody out there???? Somebody needs to tell the Eagle Ridge Academy Board of Directors that now is the golden opportunity to prove that they really were serious when forming this second Communications Committee. Communicate with your constituency for goodness sakes! Be open about the candidates and your plans for the future of Eagle Ridge Academy. Or by refusing to communicate and cloaking your intentions behind a wall of silence are your actions speaking volumes?
