Letter to the Editor
Continued…
I definitely would not put an
application in for that vacant seat on the school board like Lyla Adkins
did. Lyla had stepped down after her 3 year term was up, but
suddenly, she decided to put in for the vacant seat left by Michele
Brown. And of course, the outcome was as I expected, because
Lyla Adkins won the board’s vote the day she submitted her application
for that position. David Allen never had a chance to be picked;
nor myself; nor do I suppose Mr. Allen had any idea what was going
on.
