Lee Sensenbrenner writes about Wednesday’s School Board Candidate Statements to the Madison Rotary Club:
Given six unfettered minutes to explain to the Madison Downtown Rotary why she is seeking re-election to the Madison School Board, Ruth Robarts said that with or without her, the school district has sharp divisions.
“I think it’s wishful thinking that says removing me from the board will heal this divide, and we’ll go forward in a unified way,” she said during Wednesday’s meeting. “I think now, in a very real way, our board needs a diversity of viewpoints. To grow confidence in the board, we need to have a full debate of issues and approaches.”
