Imagine that...a school board president who 1) has a child in the schools, 2) has the audacity to not only attend the graduation ceremonies, but, 3) SPEAK! during the ceremonies.
Here's the link to Classroom Reflecting Pool, a blog from George Drake, the president of the neighboring Kennett School District.
The writer is a professor a special education and has some great insights into that segment of education policy.

Ahem...
I am proud to say that I spoke at commencement each year I was president, was seated on the dias all but one other year I was on the board.
I also, as president, handed diplomas to and shook congratulatory hands with, three of my five sons, who all went to Morrisville public schools.
and then promptly moved a few blocks outside the district!!! Are you bleeding Black and Orange now?
So, in your world, it's better to plant your butt here sucking wind as a School Board President and not even bothering to show up at graduation or hide your contempt from the district or those who support it? I know, I know, it's all gonna be in the book. Can't wait. The dark labyrinths of your brain are fascinating....and disturbing. What colors do you bleed?

I didn't "promptly" move. I don't know what you are implying, but I lived in Morrisville for about 20 years. I know, some people have an opinion that if your great grand parents and all the generations since didn't live in Morrisville, and if you don't go cradle to grave here, then you are nothing but slime.
Whatever your criticism of me is (and I don't understand it) I think Morrisville is a great place, and I am sad I moved. Judge me, but I didn't "promptly" move away. I happened to find a brand new town-house that suited me. Sadly, there are none of those within the borough limits.
Never-the-less, I did serve my civic duty while in Morrisville, and with pride. Did you?
Ken, perhaps you forget, but others remember your words. Perhaps you need to be reminded of them.
I guess I do forget.
Why don't you remind me.
Hello? Hello? Hello? .....

You're it!
It has been over 30 days since the anonymous blog-o-terrorist came out of nowhere and threatened to remind me of my own words.
I openly responded that I would gladly be reminded of them.
< crickets >
I think 30 days is a sufficient statute of limitations. Nothing to say? Case closed.
