Christie: Frank Acting Without Input

NIC Trustee Christie Wood re: "Henderson wants to split community college districts"): This is not the first time Frank has attempted to create districts for CC trustees but it is the http://media.spokesman.com/photos/2011/01/19/woodweb_r60x60.jpgsecond time he has done it without discussing any of his ideas with the trustees in his district. He might have talked casually to one trustee about this, but he has made no formal presentation to the Board or asked for our ideas or input. I like the idea of trustees representing all of Kootenai County (as well as the other 4 northern counties that have students enrolled) rather than focus on the desires of the one district they would represent. All of us are available to answer concerns from citizens and receive comments.

Question: Why do you think Rep. Frank Henderson failed to get input from the North Idaho College Board of Trustees before moving ahead with this idea?
