From dealing with Draper, I think he is the first one that needs to be run out of office. What exactly has he accomplished during his almost 3 yrs here except provide elusive answers to direct questions? Once we get him out and get someone in there that doesn't mind talking to the "little people" of the district (you know those of us who pay taxes and his salary), then we need to clean house completely. Two knife incidents, stolen computer with all our kids personal info, what next? The 9 yr old incident with the knifw was not even related to parents of the school it happened at or other district resident, channel 2 had to tell us . And that incident was not even considered an assault!!!!????? Where is this zero tolerance I have to sign every year at the beginning of the school year? What is the sense of even having this policy if it is not enforced? When are we going to band together as local residents and remove these tax-dollar-sucking-a-pay-check out this district and get REAL qualified district reps? Has anyone even tried to talk to him in person or on the phone? Well, get ready to be spoken down to! Apparently receiving his Doctor of Education in 2006, after he was hired in 2005, that makes him much smarter than us common folk, so he uses little words to get his point across! Try it sometime, talking to him I mean, see if you hear that "gosh why am I even talking to you" tone in his voice. That tone only accompanies his voice if you're AGAINST his perfect resolution to a problem. Well, us little people need to send a big message and remove him from our district. Who knows what to do to remove him? Let's get this ball rolling and show him how "ignorant" we really are..... Spring superintendent Ralph Draper, who started work at the district only four days before the election, said the message voters sent the school district is loud and clear. "This bond election, at this time, was not the way they wanted to go," Draper said. "What we have to do is get everyone back to the table, including those who may not have been at the table before, to build broad-based community support for a plan that will meet the district's and students' needs. "Our next move is to run a slate of officers against the existing school board members in the next election," Williams said. "We would like to see people with a fresh perspective on the board
