A recent district-wide survey of Boundary County
School District 101 employees appears to show an
unsettling lack of confidence in school
superintendent Dick Conley or the school board.
A total of 81 staff members participated, 55
certified staff and 27 classified employees. A
total of 50 respondents were members of the
Boundary County Education Association, 32
weren't affiliated.
Of those who responded, 37 were from the high
school, 22 the middle school, six work at Valley
View, eight at Mount Hall and 11 at Naples.
Three questions were asked: Do you have
confidence in your building principal; Do you
have confidence in your superintendent; and Do
you have confidence in your board of trustees.
Three of four school principals; Dick Behrens at
the middle school, Gary Pfleuger at Valley View
and Jim Nash at both Naples and Mount Hall, were
given a 100-percent confidence rating by those
with whom they work; but high school principal
Kirk Hoff didn't fare so well, garnering a
confidence rating of only 11-percent.
As to confidence in the superintendent,
respondents from Valley View gave Conley the
highest confidence rating, at only 17-percent,
Mount Hall staff logged in at 12 percent, the
high school and Naples both gave an 11-percent
confidence rating and respondents from the
middle school said they had no confidence at
all.
While that's bad, confidence in the school board
is even worse.
Again, staff at Valley View expressed the most
confidence at a mere 17-percent. High school
respondents gave a 14-percent rating, and Naples
staff a nine-percent vote of confidence.
None of the respondents from the middle school
or Mount Hall expressed any confidence in the
school board, both giving a rating of zero.
