In a letter to the editor, a BOE member must identify himself as a board member and indicate that it is not authorized by the board (School Ethics Commission).

There will never be a K-12 regional district as long as LTES is its own version of Walton’s Mountain. Our youth are not prepared for tomorrow’s world by a school environment where the best view is the front porch looking in.
