In her 600 word opinion piece former School Board member and rabid Red Plan advocate, Nancy Nilsen, makes no mention of her half billion dollar baby save for this vague reference:
“I thank all the citizens of Duluth and the surrounding area who contributed to making our excellent facilities. I have heard very positive comments about the work that went into these buildings. Now that the facilities plan has been completed, we can become even more focused on what happens in classrooms. We need to put forth a concerted effort to find proven methods of educating our youth in today’s day and age. I’m willing to put forth that effort. Our children are worth it.
I am not a sky-is-falling type of person. If there is a problem, I roll up my sleeves, dig into the problem and find solutions.”
Having spent four years with a pretty big shovel myself trying to get a vote on and then minimize the damage of a “sky-is-falling” school system I don’t recall ever seeing Nancy wielding any digging implement. Better late than never I guess.
