Eden Prairie School Superindendent Orders Parents to “Move On”
Despite having 730 signatures to revisit the K-6 facility rework plan, the Eden Prairie school board dismissed the idea. Superintendent Krull then penned an email to all district parents and then responded publicly in the Eden Prairie News. Here response was anything but warm, fuzzy, and conciliatory.
In her message titled “Leading Transformation”, she tells parents to “move on”, saying that any contrary opinions are just “noise”. In the response she calls the parents “angry” and their petition and responses “divisive”. This is my opinion, and you can disagree with me on political grounds, but this sure sounds like the Nancy Pelosi complaints about the “angry mob” of people at the town hall meetings regarding the health care bill. I thought that America was founded on the freedom of speech? Seems like the establishment and career government workers don’t like it when you question their tactics!
Karla Bratrud and Jessie Score wrote a great editorial piece in the Eden Prairie news regarding this. I loved their reply:
We understood that the superintendent and some board members might not welcome our actions. We knew they might say “thank you very much” and then promptly throw our petition in the trash can. But our superintendent decided to go a step further. She thought taking parents to the woodshed in the newspaper and via e-mail was also in order, maybe forgetting that parents and community members are not on the payroll. She is on ours, and it is not wise to try to intimidate us in the same way that the recent teacher’s survey indicates that she intimidates some of them.
