This letter is to my Lake Park-Audubon constituents: I apologize to George Kohn and members of the community for my comments after the March LP-A School Board meeting.
George's question during the meeting was: "Has the LP-A Board considered doing any long range planning?" And my comment to him after the meeting was: "George, please, don't ask silly questions."
My comment was uncalled for, and I should have taken the time to explain to George the long-range planning we have done and are doing.
We just completed a two-year contract with the teachers which encourages them to continue their education and awards them accordingly. This is long-range planning.
We just added to our bus fleet. Again, long-range planning.

We are continuing planning for future buildings.
Since I have been on the board, we have always taken all questions, no matter what they may be.
Freedom of speech is a basic right, and again, I'm sorry for any confusion or misunderstanding it may have caused. -- Rick Olson, Lake Park
