Educational Budgets Cuts....WTF????

Our county school board is several million in the red.
Tonight there is a huge board meeting to start hashing things out on what to cut..."a working session".
We have heard a lot of rumors.....but today some are ringing true. Teaching assistants, nurses, and other important educators could lose their jobs. We could lose 6 nurses countywide. Most of our schools are at least 15 minutes from local hospital and towns.....that means a 15 min. trip for an ambulance to even arrive at the school.
WHAT ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN??????
I have turned in my thoughts and concerns to our principal. I wonder if I should send them to the Director of Schools?? Should I? Would he listen or even care?? We vote in billions and billions of dollars for parks, roads and other projects?? What about the education of American children??
THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA IS STARTING NOW IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS

  1. DO IT! DO IT! One way to cut $ is to cut out subs for specials (including guidance) and special ed.
