Lee's Summit R-7 School District: Lee's Summit School Board Members

Lee's Summit R-7 School District: Lee's Summit School Board Members



These are members of our school board.  They vote on salaries for retired teachers and current employees.  Can we honestly say that they don't have a conflict of interest.  When they investigate procedure violations are they really objective?  Isn't it time that someone is on the board that can really make a change in this district and help it live up to the reputation that they have?  How many of you moved here because of their excellent reputation and then realized you made a major mistake?  I can name dozens of families.
