FWCS board head proposes alternating comments
NIKI KELLY | The Journal Gazette
The Fort Wayne Community Schools board president has a procedural suggestion for legislators at the Statehouse.
When hearing public comment, Anne Duff would like state lawmakers to alternate between people who support and people who oppose proposed bills.
Duff said she was appalled this didn t happen when legislators heard testimony for House Bill 1005 last week.
Instead, she said during a school board meeting Monday, those who supported the bill – which calls for expanding the school voucher program – got to speak first while those against the measures had to wait hours.
