May 2005 This is the next opportunity to "Give Them a Piece of Your Mind!" Three of the 5 OLSD Board Members terms end this year and they may be running for re-election. One of the three, Paul Savas, has held a minority position against this consolidation issue throughout the board deliberations and deserves our support.
