Letter: Letter Writer Seeking Clarity on MGRSD's Diversity Initiative
A citizens' letter read during public comment at the May 13 Mount Greylock Regional School District Committee (MGRSD) and a second letter giving "unwavering support" to the Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) initiative seem to have sparked controversy. The article covering that meeting (iBerkshires, May 17, 2021) seems to have fueled the fire. Hoping that context helps to clarify, some additional information is provided below.

The character of the neighborhood: would change no matter what type of housing they put there, admittedly more so with low income housing and the problems associated with the disease of poverty.

The argument that there is historical precedent for impeachment of officer holders that have left office has been grossly overstated by the House managers on the opening day of the trial of Trump's impeachment.

Letter: Vote YES on 2 for Ranked Choice Voting
There are only two things a voter needs to know when using RCV before casting a ballot. First, instead of voting for one candidate, you rank them in order of preference. As simple as ranking candidate choices in order of preference may be, opponents repeatedly argue that this is "too confusing" for voters. This is a preposterous insults to voters' intelligence.
Letter: MGRS Needs More Responsible Approach to Field
With a majority of the School Committee members being replaced in November – which makes me wonder why the current committee is pushing for a decision now – I'm looking forward to open, reasoned and responsible dialogue and approach to decision-making in the future.
