Impasse, part 1: Listen to your School Board members lay out their visions of public service

The video below comes from the Dec. 13, 2016, School Board work session -- my first work session as a board member. This hour-long excerpt covers the discussion of School Board Attorney Wes Bridges' three-year contract. This contract automatically renews every year. It has no practical mechanism for removing Bridges without paying him at least $450,000. Lynn Wilson and I wanted to change that deal. The other five School Board members did not. What follows is almost all of the discussion -- and our reasoning. It's very illuminating. Anybody who cares about the direction of public education in Polk County should watch it.
