What do you think is the best way for Governors to listen to what students have to say?
Andddd back to the easy ones. Nolan sat and listened for a while--wait, Althea had a FOUNDATION? Since when? Why hadn't he heard of it?? He made a few mental notes to go after this supposed organization in his rebuttal. If it was as successful as she claimed why hadn't it been implimented at the school? OOOH he was going to poke some holes in that one. Look out lady!
But for his own question now...
He stood up and smiled at the crowd again.
"The best way, in my personal opinion, is by holding open 'office hours' if you will, where members of the board go to the school and allow for a sort of conference with the students. If the students have an idea or any questions--anything they want to speak to us about, really--then they have open time to come see us. If they cannot make that time, they can always owl us and assure that it gets to us directly," he explained.
"All in all, there is no real 'wrong' way to go about contacting us. If they have concerns, they should address them! We're not scary and we don't bite! Well, Miss Schirmer might," he said with a playful wink at his opponent. He was kidding, of course. Maybe.
"But I feel that having this open office conference policy, with maybe four or five board members going in at a time to speak with students, would be one of the most efficient ways for students to meet with us."
With another smile, he took his seat.
