The second forum, for the Monona Grove School Board, will be held from 4:00 to 6:00 on Sunday March 15th in the Monona Grove High School I.M.C.
Questions for the school board candidates will also be accepted at the forum or by phone. However, questions for the School Board must be phoned in between 12:00 and 3:00 pm on March 15th to (608) 221-7666 extension 3133. Staff will not be able to answer the phone during the taping.
The League of Women Voters will provide an impartial moderator for each event, and both forums will be rebroadcast on Monona Community Cable Channel. Copies will also be available for viewing at the Monona Public Library, and on http://www.mononatv.com/
a few days after each taping.
Say are you going to this a event and is it open to the public?
ReplyDeleteI know a three or four chickens who may want to watch the event live.

Well, yeah, I AM running for re-election so I plan to be there.
ReplyDeleteBad form to miss the candidate's debate. ;->
Yes, it is open to the public. You can also call in questions in during the live broadcast, to (608) 442-6601.
Ooh, too bad I can't be there. If HP is going to show it, would give me a chance to guess which one he is!
ReplyDeleteHe?
ReplyDeleteDidn't HP make a gender reference long ago? I seem to remember something.
ReplyDeleteSo, any HP-looking types in the audience at the forum last night? Anyone with a bucket full of Buffalo wings on his--or her--lap?
Don't know about gender.
ReplyDeleteIt was a small gathering. Lisa Nelson was there - maybe she is HP from a distance?? Jeff Wiswell, Randy Parvin, Jeff Machut, Bruce McConnell, Bill Podell, Kate Kvale, Mary Possin, and Pat Marsh were in attendance. I think I'm missing someone, but no bucket o' wings in sight.
Yup. Henny Penny was there alright.
ReplyDeleteDoes Monona Grove School District teach the use of the name 'Squaw' for women of tribal heritage? Here in Monona a street is named 'Squaw Circle' and a part of lake Monona that abuts the city of Monona is named 'Squaw Bay'. This settler 'naming' is culturally offensive to native families, along with 'Buck, Redskin' etc. What does Monona Grove curriculum do to raise the consciousness of its students about such cultural practices?
ReplyDeleteI hope the candidates for the school board will address this question in their literature and public fora. no
