To the editor:
I would like to address the Pulaski School Board members. With the recent citation being given to School Board member Christine Vandenhouten after hosting an underage drinking party at her home on May 12, why have you not censured or asked Ms. Vandenhouten to resign?
Also, where is the outrage of the parents who have students in the Pulaski community school system? Is this a person you would like representing your children and also taxpayers in the school district?
Vandenhouten is not a good representative of the school system and its mission statement and has missed several School Board meetings since this occurred. What example is this setting for our children?
This all came to light when I sat as an observer in Hobart Municipal Court. Attending that day in court were teenagers who received citations for attending an underage drinking party. Some, along with their parents, were there to plead their case, as one by one pleaded no contest and took responsibility for their citation.
On the same date, your Pulaski School Board member, Christine Vandenhouten, instead of showing up in person, mailed in her plea of not guilty and has since been convicted July 30 in Hobart Municipal Court. Is this who you would like representing your children?
I am encouraging the Pulaski School Board members and parents to ask Christine Vandenhouten to resign from her post from the School Board.
