Oswego, NY – In the first extended public comments from a member of the Jordan-Elbridge School Board, Mary Alley, President of the board, has a frank discussion with Grant Reeher about the controversy surrounding the board's actions during the past year. Among the topics are why she waited until now to speak publicly, her sense of why many members of the community have been so angered by the board's decisions, how the board members have tried to deal with the constraints they are under regarding public comment about the grounds for their actions, the ultimate impact the controversy is having on the community and the role of the press in that impact, and what needs to happen from here in order for the community to heal.
