The city provides at least half the money for the school budget (I'd give you the exact amount but you know how I am with that math stuff). To me, this means our councilmen are somewhat accountable. Sure the superintendent has a great deal of latitude with the funds but you can't tell me that the holders of the purse strings have no influence.
So what can we do, what should we do. They should be made aware of the things going on with our schools They have some degree of responsibility, some accountability. Call them, write them. Let them now of your opinion on the feasibility of adding a deputy superintendent's position. Is this the best spending of our tax dollars? What is the value of such an investment when our classes are overcrowded and our elementary libraries closed?
Maybe our kids can't vote but we as parents can.
Got a call from the Item yesterday Stan. There will probably be an article on it tomorrow. They must have read about it here.
ReplyDeleteProbably Rick, the traffic I'm getting now is awesome
ReplyDeleteStand up for the kids...yeah right! The LSC needs to make the Superintendent accountable for her actions. I attended a couple of LSC meetings and all I saw was the Superintendent fumbling! When is her contract up LSC...it's your responsibility to get to the bottom of the issues not dance with her!
