Funding public education

Someone sent me this link this morning:

2010 Top Stories: Funding public education
"The year was especially brutal for public school districts. Once a source of local stability, public school districts now teeter on the brink of bankruptcy."

Is this the reason for witholding the five year preliminary budget from the community?   Is this why it isn't posted on the School District website? Is this why our most fiscally responsible school board director resigned?

Let's get that shovel in the ground before the public finds out!

I sincerely hope that our Board charges the other districts for their use of our on-line classroom materials that are being provided [to them] for the benefit of their school district.

I like the Review of 2010.

We need to remember at the Reorganization Meeting a Board with five Republicans elected a Democrat as their President with NOT ONE dissenting vote.

We had a Republican as Vice President. It would be interesting to know how the Republican Committee feels about endorsing a board member for re-election when they voted for a Democrat for President.
