'It just looked like a bleak desert to me.”
Former school board trustee Betty Bekkering said she is heartbroken to have stepped down from her role, but says she just couldn’t do it anymore.
In a resignation letter, Burnett said, “this is a dysfunctional board that has no understanding of the role of trustees or good governance, and I cannot be associated with their actions.”At that meeting, Bekkering was nominated for chair but was ultimately defeated by Rachael Weber, who at that time had only six months experience as a trustee.
“It was just at the swearing in ceremony, you just don’t think it’s going to continue,” said Bekkering. “But they didn't seem interested in learning what the role of the trustee was. They really wanted to concentrate on operations of the school district, which is the jurisdiction of the superintendent. They didn’t seem interested in governance.”“We were not going to ever defeat this four to three [split]. We're never going to move issues forward,” she said.
Although Weber has released a statement regarding Bekkering and Burnett’s departures, she had not accepted any requests for an interview from the Citizen since she was elected chair.
