Now that’s a great idea — a state board of ed blog
(Haverkos and Grady’s cartoon likenesses)
I think this is pretty cool. Susan Haverkos, a state board of education member who represents about half of the Miami Valley, an her board colleague Colleen Grady have launched a blog where they will write about state board business and statewide education issues.
I don’t know why more elected officials haven’t started blogs. It’s a great way to communicate your message and interact with the voters who elected you.
I just have one complaint about the Haverkos/Grady site. Ladies, when you cite another blog, whether your are complaining about it or praising it, the custom online is to link to the post in question. They have a post up that takes issue with my criticism of a state board press release that begged Ohio newspapers to give free advertising, saying the state cannot purchase ads due to “budget constraints.”
Or perhaps state board members are also unable to connect to Ohio newspaper blogs due to budget constraints?
