20 YEARS AGO: Distrust and frustration may have eased a bit as real dialogue was opened between Callaway School District 180 and a committee of patrons seeking change in how the school operates. Improved communication between patrons, school staff and administration could also be in the offing. The formation of a combined task force of patrons, students, staff and administration is possible to more closely examine the issues brought and try to identify solutions. There could also be efforts to provide more teacher inservices dealing with classsroom discipline methods and perhaps an outside evaluation by a disinterested expert to identify problems and offer solutions.
