: Very interesting stuff.
: I agree with a lot of what you are saying. However, when you have Country-club wanna-be's from Kittanning and outlying areas, and some hick from the sticks of Dayton along with a few followers that sit a board meeting and say "I don't like you" to another board member...there is a suffering of a lack of intelligence to even consider sitting down and trying to work things out. Go ahead and bash me for saying that, I don't care. It is the truth. These people are supposed to be running out HUGE school district, and they cannot even have a decent conversation with each other. Why should parents even think that they are making decisions that are in the best interest of our children. They cannot act like adults amongst themselves. Come on - you all know it. I am talking about ALL of the board members. Not just a select few. They all act like children. This isnt even about the proposal to close Elderton. This is the day to day operations of the school district. They say the budget is balanced - check the details...it really isnt. Rupp made that quite clear last night. The Board of Education probably has a good chuckle every time they have to deal with ASD. Just my two cents worth.
: Excellent point....they can't even run a few small buildings, how are they going to handle one huge one.
