But the superintendent of schools seems to also like to use the system for other things, albeit not always using both phone and email.   For example, before Christmas we got a phone call on the house phone and both cells wishing us a happy holiday and letting us know there are seats open on the school buildings committee.  Today I received an email letting me know that the high school team is playing some hockey game at the local stadium.  This, to me, isn’t an appropriate use.

I called the education office and I asked if there was a way to get on an emergency message only list vs. the emergency and oh all this other junk list.  There’s one list, you’re either on or off it, but I get the feeling the poor woman I talked to has fielded these calls before.

So what do I do here?  Do I remove my contact information from the list and miss out on the “there’s a knife wielding crazy in your son’s pre-school classroom” messages, or just leave it be and create a special filter for the superintendent’s drivel?

I’m thinking it might be worth taking up with the town selectmen at some point because it’s pretty obviously a misuse of a valuable system.  Or am I being too sensitive?
