In 2015, voters in the Griffis-Widewater district sent a loud and clear message. They resoundingly voted against a third four-year school board term for Ms. Dana Reinboldt. Clearly they had enough. 

Unfortunately, they replaced her with Emily Fallon, who stepped down and was recently convicted of embezzlement of PTO funds. In deciding on Fallon’s replacement, a jury of her own peers, the current School Board,  rejected Dana Reinboldt’s application to serve in an interim capacity, not even giving her an interview. The person they did select, Ms. Melissa Ayers, has endorsed Ms. Jamie Decatur to be her replacement.
