Is Chester aware HE works for us and needs to answers the questions. It sounds like he is trying to BULLIE his way past question and tries to change the subject. He admits they new there was an issue and the Board HID it from the public. Chester also stated the with wording on the ballot they can "DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THE MONEY AND IT'S ALL LEAGAL BECAUSE THE PEOPLE VOTED ON IT!" That is one of the "ISSUES" When did they have these PRIVATE meetings? They hid this from the public! They should all be arrested and thrown in jail!
I am responding to the paragraph above speculating that the Mtn Home school board had organized a campaign to get seniors to vote for the Millage.
This is false information.
Speculation is the root of the spread of misinformation and fueled emotional response..
In my opinion, it is appalling that teachers and administrators have been threatened with ethical violation for merely mentioning to students that they should take the time to vote in this election
This has reached a new level of tactical intimidation, and I am taking a stand against it for the sake of my senior.
We should be encouraging young citizens to care about matters affecting their community. A school board election is a wonderful first opportunity to cast a vote.
I personally have no affiliation with A plus for Education nor the school board. My daughter, who is a newly registered vote and a senior at MHHS organized the event to gather seniors and provide a fun opportunity to vote together. The students who attended were not directed whether to cast their vote yes or no or who to support for the school board.
Another parent of an MHHS senior owns an ice cream truck and wanted to be a part of the event. She donated ice cream to the voting seniors to make the event more fun.
If you would like to contact me personally gain a true understanding of the facts that have not been represented in this article, feel free to text me at (870) 421-2579. My name is Heather Hilvert, and I live and work in Mtn. Home. I will do my best to respond to your inquiry.
Thank you so much for explaining that your daughter organized the senior rally. She is a precious girl, and it's fantastic that she is civically engaged and encouraging others to do so also. Please know that the information being shared about the rally was not speculation, but came from individuals associated with the school who received the messages from other individuals associated with the school, and none of these messages indicated the rally was student-organized. There has never been a negative implication made toward any students. There is a lot of confusion and concern by many teachers, students, and the community about what is going on inside the school related to campaigning. There is a very fine line legally, and one that should be more clearly defined by our legislators. The whole situation has created mistrust and misunderstanding on all sides, which is so unfortunate. I do wish you and your family the best, and hope we can all move past this when it is over.
