Letter to the editor: School Board’s policy on allowing use of facility right

It seems to me that the complaints by a few citizens against the Jamestown Public School District for allowing an educational Worldview Weekend Seminar to be held in a school facility are immature and unjustified. People with a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and a loving desire to serve our creator would not object to a Christian religious meeting held in any public facility. But, if I understand everything correctly, no student could attend without a permission note from the parents, so I think the school policy is fair and just to protect non-Christian parents from exposing their son or daughter to a philosophy that they think is not good for them to hear.

What we think: Publishing honor rolls recognizes students

The Jamestown Public School District doesn’t release the names of students on its honor roll. We think the district should reconsider publishing the list. District administrators say the lists are never totally accurate, and because some grades are turned in late, the honor rolls aren’t released until three weeks after students receive their grades. They argue some of the positive enforcement expected in releasing the grades is lost in that time period. We disagree.
