One other option

Dear Editor,

In last week’s editorial about the special school coard meeting you misrepresented me. You left out my suggestion we postpone the meeting.

The special meeting was planned to end at 9 a.m. because members had other obligations. A little after 9 a.m. I said we either needed to postpone the meeting to a later time, or we needed to vote now. No one expressed a desire to postpone; the president called for any other comments. A few more comments were made. When there were no more comments, we voted.

Regular meeting nights are wide open on my calendar, and on those nights I’ll be happy to stay until midnight or later to hear everyone out. My fellow board members are also excellent about attendance. We don’t have to agree on every vote to be good board members, and I’m proud to serve with such dedicated volunteers.

ARTHUR STEWART,

Clarendon
