WCS Board Seeks To Be More Open, Accountable To Public

Making the board more open and accountable to the public appeared to be one of the goals of the Warsaw School Board at its meeting Monday. New member Dan Robinson, who served on the board for eight years previously, proposed allowing time for public input before the board votes on agenda items. Public input is allowed early in the monthly meeting and near the end.Additional time for members of the public to speak has traditionally been at the discretion of the board president. "It shouldn't be up to the board president, it should be board policy," Robinson said. "This is a board meeting, not a town hall," said board member Mark Minatel, who is leaving the board at the February meeting. "We have never refused people the chance to speak," said Cathy Folk, board member. President Ron Yeiter said he would make it a point to include public comment at meetings, and the board agreed to leave it at the president's discretion.
