EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE-TEACHERS & PASTORS

You often hear teachers say they chose their profession because of love for children. Then they turn around because they're puppets of the union and vote abortion. They're nothing but hipocrites. Just one reason we need a Christian school in Mosinee.
Oh, the pastors in Mosinee have been approached multiple times re a Christian school alternative. No response, they're also hypocrites. Political correctness, market share, and job security.

Subject: Department Heads

Hi Greg

Can one assume the high school department heads listed below are also the k-12 department heads certifying vertical curriculum and assessment integrity? If so, has that responsibility been included in their job description?

Vertical alignment of curriculum is the systematic process of organizing academic content, skills, and standards so they build logically and sequentially from one grade level or course to the next.
Vertical assessment and curriculum alignment is the process of ensuring that tests, assignments, and learning goals build logically and consistently from one grade level or course to the next.

K-12 department heads serve as crucial links between classroom teachers and school administration by driving instructional quality, supporting staff, and managing department operations.
Why K-12 Department Heads Matter
• Instructional Leadership: Department heads align academic goals with state and district standards, mentor new educators, and coach peers on effective teaching methods.
• Curriculum Oversight: They manage textbook selection, map out course sequences, and ensure inclusive, up-to-date practices across their specific subject area.
• Teacher Retention and Support: By fostering collaborative teams and providing direct feedback, they reduce burnout and help keep quality educators in the profession.
• Operational and Budget Management: They oversee departmental budgets, maintain inventory, distribute supplies, and manage specialized equipment safely

Mr. Doverspike

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gxQmFOYzrw 1:42 is the correct link and time of the board approval of the strategic plan

note: this is the most consequential vote for the following 5 years, NO DISCUSSION by board members. Was this discussed outside the meeting and a possible violation of the open meetings law or simply a lack of due diligence on the part of board members?

I viewed the tape several times, voices somewhat muffled. By movement of her lips, I believe the no vote was Maple. Is this correct? No admission on the part of any board member as you suggested.

I question the lack of concern on the part of the board president re your response below. One might conclude an attitude of arrogance and bullying. Bring back memories S*an?

Thank you for your response.

Gary,

In response to your question: School Board Policy 0161 - Parliamentary Authority the procedure for governing the Board is Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised. Based on Robert's Rules a voice vote is not documented with individual member votes, only if the motion carried or failed. Therefore the minutes are correct.

If you are looking for who voted no on that agenda item, I have copied the entire board on this email and the individual that voted no can inform you of their decision. Otherwise, I am copying the link to our board meetings and you can listen to see who voted no.

I ‘ve been following your situation closely and applaud your conservative enthusiasm to protect children.

Please refer to https://www.facebook.com/GaryCrawfordMosineeSchoolBoard Aug 28 posting DEI Indoctrination of MSD children, timeline of contradictions

• Has your attorney briefed you on U.S. Supreme Court case of Mahmood v. Taylor & Landmark 1972 case Wisconsin v. Yoder?
• Did you involve area clergy?

At a recent monthly board meeting a student representative described her interaction with teaching staff as Biopsychosocial with a curriculum committee board member giving her a smile and big thumbs up apparently as a sign of passionate approval.

When it comes to the DEI issue, the MSD board might as well consist of 9 bobbin head dolls that continuously nod yes.

I know your available time is very limited, but if I could come down to completely understand your situation over coffee it would be much appreciated.

Looking forward to a reply,

Hi Paul
I believe as a member of the Mosinee Board of Education you have a responsibility to respond to a question from one of your constituents.
Let me further set the scene. MSD needs a high school level advanced instructor in math.
Potential candidate 1: Recently graduated individual entering his/her first year of education willing to join the union.
Potential candidate 2: Current excellent teacher with10 years’ experience in teaching calculus while connecting students to the world of work but not willing to join the union.
As a football coach in a critical game if a player approached you with an important question regarding the next play did you run and hide behind others on the sideline?
Are board members and district employees being instructed by Hermening or Doverspike not to respond to legitimate questions from district residents regarding the education of the children of the MSD?
Please answer the question or resign for the sake of the kids.
