There are definitely active PTO at most of the schools. Many of them have their own Facebook page and update regularly. In fact, just a bit behind you, a current PTO treasurer spoke that night. Also, TW Allen is the timekeeper. He’s the one watching the stop watch and if I remember correctly he tried to get your attention when your time was up before Cheeseman spoke up. I don’t disagree with your assessment that Cheeseman shouldn’t be front and center. He should be seated with the other county employees to the left (as you’re looking at the board) during meetings. He is hired by the board and is there at the courtesy of the board. Myself and a few other parents wondered during this meeting if perhaps we should appeal to a local business or two to possibly sponsor the video cost? As to who should run the video, I don’t see why BCS Public Information Officer Kristin Riddle or BCS Director of Community and Family Engagement Ashley Padgett aren’t a clear and obvious choice.
