DEAR EDITOR:

I read the reprint of the interview with our intrepid school board chairwoman, Lynnda Crowder-Eagle, in the MDJ last Sunday with grave interest in hopes of finding something of intelligence in her thinking processes. I was wrong.

To steal a phrase from MDJ columnist Laura Armstrong, the answers given were the most arrogant assemblage of "unintelligible verbiage" that I have ever read and believe me, at age 79, I have heard and read a lot.

Where has this woman been living? The CCSD is floundering in total chaos and the chairwoman of its board knows in her heart that everything is just "peachy keen." Doesn't she get a newspaper, or can't she read? Our school district has been the subject of a grand jury investigation twice in this school year. The CCSD is even making the Channel 2 Action News lately on a regular basis. Maybe she is a graduate of her own school system, or does she just have the ability to turn her eyes, ears and mind off?

I have said it before and I will say it again: The school board and the administration of the CCSD are so immersed in their own self importance and so engrossed in their attempts to impress each other that they have forgotten the purpose for which they were elected or hired.

As long as such adults are in charge of this school district, the teachers and the kids don't stand a chance. If this interview serves no other purpose, it effectively documents that fact.
