maybe it is just me but I was under the impression of a budget crisis this year and if we are might it be a good idea to d a little less politicking and saved the school board a little more money so they can pay for more qualified educators are just be able to hold on to the ones we already have by better compensation but hey who knows I can always be wrong big mced
