Board Member Not Blogging, But Commenting!

Score one for open government! Much to my surprise, I just found under my Tuesday post on ythe Madison school board a comment from Madison School Board member Rod Goeman. (Evidently Blogger has a bug in its comment notification program... Blogger!) Goeman confirms that the board is interested in seeing if the trimester system "is still meeting expectations" or whether changes might better accommodate students taking DSU courses or participating in "band, chorus, or other programs."

Yahoo! Not only are we getting a conversation about the trimester system, but we get a board member, an honest-to-goodness elected official, offering public comment on what's up. Let's hear some more! Mayor Hexom? Commissioner Leighton? Representative Gassman? Governor Rounds? The comment lines are open....
