Phone Messages Blanket Huntley School District 158
Phone messages announcing that the Huntley School Board has hired a fellow school board member at $101,000 a year are being made to Huntley and Lake in the Hills homes.
The messages point out that school board member Larry Snow was the only one to vote, “No,” and asks that those in support of Snow give him a call at 847-515-2427.
McHenry County Blog talked to Snow and was told that he is not the one making the phone calls, but he thinks the informational message is appropriate in terms of truthfulness and disclosure as not all residents read the newspapers or have internet service.

The Board of Education has stated in the past that it wants to keep the community well informed. The other board members were rather boastfully proud of their votes at the meeting, so they might consider the phone message a 'good news' notice to residents. They might even be happy to show which side of the issue they are on, and contrast their votes and judgment to my own.
It’s always appropriate to inform the community. After all, everyone who ran for school board pledged open and honest communications.
