"1 think there should be
a board, but not as rnany
on it. They have to save
money somewhere-"
Judy Evans
Lucknow
..They do need some-
body, but not as many on
the board. We definitely
need to save money
wherever we can."
Bobbi Anne Menary,
Lucknow
"There are too many
chiefs and not enough
Indians now. Someone
else would be making
decisions for our kids, 1
wouldn't like that."
Karen Bridges
Lucknow
"1 don't think it will help
a whole lot." (eliminat-
ing the board to save
money.)
Cathy Hamilton
Lucknow
"I think it's a bad idea.
They won't be as
accountable to our local
schools."
