Hello, I'm a relatively new resident to Morrisville, I moved here with my family about a year and a half ago. The idea of a small borough and a small school district where children have a name and are not just a number is what we thought we were getting into. I've been to board meetings, and have been reading your blog for some time now, trying to gain as much information as possible with regards to our current state of affairs in our schools. After last nights meeting, I am disgusted with the way this current board conducts itself!! From board members interrupting each other, and Mr. Hellmann appearing to fall asleep between 10 and 10:30 pm.(Some in the audience actually took a picture of this!)this is no way for a board of elected officials to conduct itself. This board is giving Morrisville a bad name. They should be ashamed of their actions and behavior. This district is small and manageable, but the current board cannot even get through a discussion on a motion without getting snippy and interrupting each other. Its no wonder nothing is getting done. Or perhaps that is the plan, to get nothing done. It seems the majority only wants to save taxes and close schools. It was great to see Mrs. Reithmeyer stand up to Mr. Hellmann, and Mrs. Heater reveal her alarming e-mail from Mr. Hellmann, more members need to see the light(ie:Worab,Mihok,Farrell). Perhaps then we can get back to fixing our schools, and educating our children.
I would like to get more involved and I would like to get our community more involved. Keep up the great work!!

As a frequent poster on this blog, I welcome you and salute you! I know it's tough for working parents to make board meetings, but please come when you can and please keep checking in on this blog.
The board meetings are like an ice hockey game - it may be easier to follow the puck, but seeing them on TV just doesn't do them justice. As Bill O'Reilly says, you gotta "do it live!".
Blogmeister, whoever you are, I salute you too! You are providing an immensely valuable community service, as well as a creative outlet that I don't get to exercise that much in my day job!
Dear New Resident,
