Billy, I believe we had a free and open conversation. There is no need to fear. You were given more time to speak at our meeting than your fellow school board members. I know that we disagree on many things but I have never been hostile or closed minded to differing opinions and I don't plan to start now. I still have an open door policy to productive and civil discussion, especially when it relates to our school children.

I don't know where you got the impression that I would stoop to retaliation at the expense of our children, but that is untrue."
