(Richmond, IN)--A huge turnout of Richmond teachers forced the moving of Wednesday afternoon’s meeting of the Richmond Community School Board from the administration building to Civic Hall.  Speaker after speaker addressed the Board in support of former REA President Kelley McDermott.  Several of those teachers spoke to the Board, including teacher and former Board member Keith Morey.  "The current climate in Richmond Community Schools is not good for kids, and it's quickly eroding what's left of an already tired and demoralized teaching and administrative staff," Morey said.  This teacher said the climate has changed:  "Look at how many teachers are leaving and how many teaching openings there are each year."  This speaker gave the most impassioned plea:  "What you're doing is demoralizing this teaching staff and demoralizing this community and it's not right."  The Board, as is its policy, did not respond directly to any of the speakers.
