It looks like the voters spoke. To Julie, Steffan & Alan: Just remember that one out of every two people you meet today voted against you, your video cameras and your attitude towards Ord Public Schools.

In response to privy11

Julie, Steffan and Alan,
Don’t worry about the people you meet. You can hold your head high with the knowledge that you ran a clean, above board, honest campaign. The cheap shots were taken by the opponents. Your vilagiance brought many things to light about the current board that I was previously unaware of. I needed to know these issues to make an informed choice. It is too bad your message didn’t reach more of the voters so they could also make an informed choice. Your attitude and positive vision for Ord Public Schools future is not the same as critisim of the poor decisions the board has made in the past. The board is not Ord Puclic Schools. The board should be the peoples representative to Ord Public Schools. I don’t think privy11 understands this difference.
The statement that “people voted against you” is not totally correct. I believe many of the voters didn’t know the issues or candidates and voted uninformed. Responsible voters vote FOR a candidate, vindictive people vote AGAINST candidates. I choose to believe that there are not that many vindictive people in Ord and think Ord is a better community than this. Please keep up the good work.

Hear, Hear C Hunter,

Privy11 has just insulted the very people that voted for Marty, Sue and Kim except for those individuals that voted in vindication, (which like you I hope isnt how our community thinks as a whole) and the whole voting community of Ord.

We vote for individuals (who have asked for the job) based on the knowledge we have at hand, and we vote for who we think will do the best job. We expect them too use wisdom and prudence in that job for the time that they are allotted. In the case of school boards, we place our very own children in their indirect care and we supply the money for those childrens care. We expect our children to be safe and the money spent wisely.

Privy11, I think you owe an apology to the voting community of Ord, Nebraska including all 6 candidates that ran for school board. For those people that voted out of vindication, no apology required, may they reap their just rewards. It is shameful that you insulted so many people in this community with your one comment.

Well, congratulations to Kim, Marty, and Sue! I hope they take our ideas to advance academics through laptops for students and implement it. It would be a win-win would it not? The political process does not need to be a vindictive battle. Rather it should be an exchange of ideas and visions which others vote on. I don’t see it as a slam on us. People apparently value sports over academics which is their right to choose. I don’t have to agree!!
