I speak as a Realtor with a very good feel for Fan- wood-Scotch Plains real estate values, and as a con- cerned school parent and life long resident, I believe we have an excellent school system, but the publicity we have received out of-Board of Education meetings over the past several years has done a great deal of harm to our reputation. The bickering and shouting and walking out of meetings, the blowing out of all proportion of the cheerleader incident and the leaking of confidential information to the Courier News is starting to destroy confidence and erode our property values. House hunting families reading of this raucous behaviour by school board members, and who are not familiar with our fine schools, will seek to buy elsewhere. Westfield is a prime example of a town where Largest Droblems are discussed by ladies and gentlemen and incidents are dealt with calmly by those in authority without using the press to state one's position.
