\nValwood Board Elects Officers and Trustees\n
\nMay 27, 2011\n

\nValwood’s Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that it has elected\nthe following officers who, along with Tom Gooding as Immediate Past\nChairman and Dutton Miller as “Chairman’s Choice,” will serve on the\nBoard’s Executive Committee for the coming school year:\n

\nTerri Lupo – Chairman of the Board\n
\nBilly Tidmore – Vice Chairman\/Chairman Elect\n
\nJack Henry – Treasurer\/Chairman of Finance Committee\n
\nJim Godbee – Secretary\n<\/blockquote>\nAlso, the Board of Trustees has re-elected the following Trustees to 3\nyear terms beginning July 1:\n\n
Brooks Akins<\/td>Laura Perlman<\/td><\/tr>\n
Mike Godwin<\/td>Sally Querin<\/td><\/tr>\n
Tom Gooding<\/td>April Scruggs<\/td><\/tr>\n
Bill Peeples<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/blockquote>\nNow let’s look at the Chamber’s board.<\/a>\nTom Gooding is the Chamber’s Chair,\nand Terri Lupo is on the board,\nand is the Chamber’s immediate past Chair.\nThat’s right, Gooding and Lupo just switched spots (Chair and past Chair) with\nboth the Chamber and Valwood.\n

\nPlus as the above graphic points out, there are further intersections\nbetween the Chamber board and CUEE supporters.\nSo the Chamber, CUEE, and Valwood are tightly intercoupled.\n

\nIt seems we have a group of private school supporters trying to take over\nboth the local public school systems.\nDoes that seem right to you?\n
