Get To Know Your Minot Public School Board Members

I think it's wise to know who your local School Board Members are, after all, they have a lot of say in YOU child's education. When I read the paper I am often surprised at what some school boards around the nation feel is "right" for a child's education.

I am thankful that The Minot School Board for the most part has not embraced some of the crack pot things I read about in the paper. I am glad that the only things that upset me with The Minot School Board is their refusal to take bids on items that could save tax payers a substancial amount of money and also it bugs me that they allow the technical department BS them into believing that Apple/McIntosh will prepare our kids for the world after academia.

The Minot School Board is:

Nancy Langseth     President     907 1st Ave SW Minot     701-839-4356

Jackie Velk     Vice-President     1317 11th St SW Minot     701-838-2825

Roger Kluck        Member        15 Souris Court Minot        701-838-9383

Jim Rostad     Member     6210 Hwy 2 & 52 West Minot     701-852-2392

Laura Mihalick       Member       916 15-1/2 Ave Minot       701-838-4811

 

I know that being on the School Board can be a thankless job but these folks campagained for the position and need to be held accountable and they also need to be praised when they do things my way right. Don't ever be afraid to call them and let them know where you stand on an issue that may be before them.

Being a PTA President and Board member in recent times... I know the importance in knowing who is controlling our School District and who these decision makers are at all times... ;) At least for me...

Hey Lauren! I know your views and I wish you were on our School Board. I don't know how you find the time to be as active as you are in the community. My hat's off to you again.

HI BOB!  Well - after attending the first PTG meeting at school and hearing what the priorities are - I'm thinking I need to join the board.  Although - I'd likely get kicked out for my opinions on what's critical for students vs what falls in the category of Apple computers.

Hello Bob - it is always a good idea to get to know the school board members and to keep watch on what is going on with the board.  I am with you about the Apple computer thing and believe that over-all they are not the best way to introduce our children to the real world of business.  Best wishes for a great week!

Gabrielle, I think you should voice your opinion at the school board and if they kick you out then come back here for some hugs. Also if they kick you out make sure a reporter knows about it!

Barbara, Thanks for those wishes, so far it's off to a roaring GOOD start.
