    " I agree with 'curiously covert,' it is probably a ploy by the district to gain the public's confidence. Just hope this group does not select another superintendent like "the last two" which the district has been tolerating for the past five years. "

    " Great idea but short on time? When is this group of consultants going to have time to compile and analyze the information collected? It would seem that they would have to take the data, sort it, and come up with a written plan, that is, unless this is just a guise to make the District look like they are giving the public an opportunity to comment.
