The Florida School Boards Association held a training session recently to help Hillsborough and Pinellas board members improve their effectiveness by focusing most notably on listening and respect. Perhaps it should have been more remedial.
Two Hillsborough board members, April Griffin and Tamara Shamburger had an embarrassing exchange where acting out and some crude language upstaged the kumbaya optics. Good thing teachers and students weren’t there to witness the antics.
But the press was.
