LETTER: Recall may have scared away moderate candidates for board

To Ozaukee Press:

The Mequon-Thiensville School Board recall may have already affected our community, whether there are enough signatures for a recall election or not. It may have polarized us to the extent that we are no longer interested in working together, so that compromise isn’t sought after. We will only resolve our differences with compromise.

The recall may have scared away residents who would be fantastic School
Board members. I am most frightened of this effect. Where are all the moderates? We need people with moderate views to sit on our board. I hope they are still out there, and willing to serve on the School Board.

With moderate candidates and a willingness to compromise, we can still succeed. We can continue to build and grow, resolve differences and use input to keep our school district great.
