: Once in a million, people didn't auto kill the "bad" school directors on this one. But I want to know this one thing. If we can't compete with some of the other districts with pay and benefits then we will lose quality teachers versus the ones fresh out of college. It's why maybe the smaller schools should be cut out and some of the wasting dollars to save them would cut the tax dollars. Does anyone even think on that thought?
Did anybody ever think that staffing at a super school may not be cut that much with a utopian super-school, because of an expanded curriculum? Smoke and mirros once again to build a new school.
Once again, you base your thoughts on $$$ and do not consider the learning of the kids.
The problem with taxes and teachers' salaries is not just a problem in the Armstrong School District. I do not see these other districts running around crying to build new super-schools.
This people will use unmowed grass as reason to build their "dream" school.
Sheesh!
We just need to do the right thing and get rid of the whole mess who are residing on the ASD Board. That will be more progress than what we have experienced over the last 5 years.
