Russellville School District. I have found out that the school district has a budget of 45 to 50 million dollars. Now that would make one wonder on what is happening with all that money. So I went to my first school board meeting in April and listened to how the meeting went and just set there, not being ostentatious and was more like a fly on the wall.

First let me introduce myself, I am Robert McCready, coordinator of the Russellville River Valley Tea Party. Before this I was one of the original member of I.C.O.R. (Interested citizens Of Russellville) and had many disagreements with Mayor Turner. I have covered the Russellville city council ever since. I started the Tea Party in 2009. As I researched on where my tax dollars are spent. I looked and discovered that the majority of my tax dollars were
going to the Russellville School District. I have found out that the school district has a budget of 45
to 50 million dollars. Now that would make one wonder on what is happening with all that money. So
I went to my first school board meeting in April and
listened to how the meeting went and just set there,
not being ostentatious and was more like a fly on the
wall. After the meeting was over, I asked if I could
have a copy of the budget. I was given part one of
three parts of the budget( The budget is for another
discussion).
The next meeting was held
Tuesday May the 17th. This meeting was very
vitriolic for the board members point of view. Before
the different schools brought in their students of
the month, I raised my hand and said, madam
chairman I would like to ask a parliamentary
question! There was a gasp from the over flowing
crowd. Then the lights flashed and the thunder
roared! I did not know that I just poked my finger
into the eye of God. The School board looked at
each other and then the board president said in a
bombastic and infelicitous tone that the board did not
take questions from the floor! I thought for sure
that there was a trap door and I was headed straight
to Hell but I did not know who held the handle.
When does one ask a question? It is
neccessary to get on the agenda a week or more
before the general meeting, but that is if one of the
board recognizes you at the general meeting. . I
hope I will see you at the next Russellville school
board meeting. We have to change this, and we will
change it. There must be a free flow of ideas
between the Board and the ones that pay the bills,
we the tax payers.
Tea party meets the
first Monday of each month at the main street
mission at 6;30 pm
