I received word this morning that the House and Senate Education Committees have finished their work, with the exception of items relating to the BEP  proposals (BEP 2.0 and others) along with the associated funding.

Thus, we’ve been asked to be "on standby" to go to Nashville next Tuesday and Wednesday for the final committee meetings, since we won’t have much time to react to what is presented.

Delta will be at Tremont, so hopefully He Who Tames Flying Monkeys can manage the rest of the crew.  Alpha doesn’t need management, just gas money until she starts her summer job.  Beta and Gamma are another issue.

Which brings us back to the conflicting priorities: to do the job of a school board member, or to work to ensure I keep that job?  For me, the choice is clear:  I will do what I was elected to do, and trust that that is sufficient.
