I keep trying

We have an issue in our town where a group got together to get elected to the school board as a bloc. I tried to tell everyone it was a bad idea to vote for these individuals as they had a hidden agenda. Well they got elected and we found out the agenda - to get rid of our superintendent. After investigating what has happened under our current superintendent and finding out she has accomplished great things for our district and the bloc only wants her gone for personal reasons, I spoke before the school board and got others talking too. Last night I decided to speak to the issue of the poor performance of the superintendent that the bloc is planning to hire, but the speakers before me were all so great I stood and said I would not give my prepared remarks. I then said Amen to all the things said before me and then gave a personal reason why our superintendent was not one my favorites but now she is because of the successes of the district. I then asked the board to renew her contract and do it now. This issue has been the talk of the town since the November election and the bloc is still trying to get rid of her. I know the bloc will be happy when we leave on our mission. I just hope our superintendent is still her when we return.
