WRIGHT TWP. -- A decision to combine meetings and work sessions next year
has pitted five Crestwood School Board members against four of their
colleagues and the PTA. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Starting in January the work session will immediately precede the board
meetings on the second Thursday of the month. By a 5-4 vote at the Dec. 1
meeting the board did away with the practice of holding the work session a
week before the monthly meeting. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Casting "yes" votes were board members Eric Aigeldinger, Michael Sinco,
Joseph Krivak, Stephanie Grubert and John Williams. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Aigeldinger said Tuesday that he proposed the move for the sake of
productivity. The work sessions lasted about a half hour while the board
discussed the agendas for the regular meetings. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "Why go through that waste of time?" Aigeldinger asked. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Supporters of the past system disagreed. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "The purpose of a work session is to notify the community of what's on the
agenda," said school board member Ray Whalen. "In that respect it was
productive." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 He voted against the change with board members John Pisaneschi, Louise Fino
and Emilia Kramer. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The week between the work session and meeting gave the public time to
review the agenda and prepare for the monthly meeting, Whalen said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Tina Castellino, PTA council president, objected to the change, saying the
week between meetings benefited the board and the public. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The separation, she said, "gives you food for thought." The public has time
to look into an issue on the agenda and contact board members prior to a vote,
she said. The board has the opportunity to make an informed vote after hearing
from the public. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 But none of that will be lost under the new schedule, said board member
Sinco. A PTA representative will get the agenda from the superintendent the
day before the monthly meetings. In addition, the board will try to reach a
wider audience through the newspapers. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "I'm looking at publishing the agenda," Sinco said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Under Sinco's plan the public would read about the topics of an upcoming
meeting in newspapers with countywide circulation. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "My interest in this is to get more of Mountaintop involved," he said
Tuesday. "We need to draw more senior citizens and get more interest and more
people involved." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 By consolidating the meeting dates the public will be able to see the
"total process at one setting," he said. The work session will start at 6:30
p.m. and conclude with a period of public input. The regular meeting will
follow and end with a public input session. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 T &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 he purpose of a work session is to notify the community of what's on the
agenda. In that respect it was productive. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
