Dictionary need

To the editor:

I see in today’s paper that Leonard Ortiz feels “invalued” by the school board’s scheduling decision. Hmm. Since he’s obviously invested in a calendar, the next purchase he might want to make is a dictionary.

I gather we do not give a basic skills test to our school board members before they are allowed to serve. Perhaps it’s time for a “No Board Member Left Behind” initiative.
