>>…All of these proposals violate both the letter and the spirit of the bond measure.  We do not have the option of spending bond measure funds on anything besides what the voters chose.  It isn’t a big pile of money to be used for the current needs, there is no THE money.

>…Couldn't you just, after the speaker is done, acknowledge and thank them and comment, "Unfortunately, what you propose would be illegal for this committee, so we can not consider it.  You would have to propose it to the (city/county) council as a new project instead.  Next speaker."?

 

>…They're done speaking, so they can't reply.  When you give that same response over and over again, some people might start to understand that yours is not a useful venue for proposing alternative projects…

 

 

Ja, that is pretty close to what we do.  Then the same yahoos show up at the school board meetings and say the same things.  The school board kicks them back to us, already knowing we will kick them back to the school board.  Eventually they get the message.  Sometimes.

 

I will offer this: if one is not gifted with a gross excess of patience, never volunteer for anything aaaaaanything having to do with the school board or public school anything.  Eschew it, young people, run away.  Flee in all directions at once!
