I don't blame the staff, but the administration and the school board have made terrible decisions on budgets and get everything pushed through they want not necessarily what is needed, they make budget cuts then they hire everyone back when the have a little extra instead of keeping it it in a general fund for situations like we are in now and then you get administrators and teachers on tv complaining about class sizes and budget issues, keep that information for your meetings, the students don't need to hear your complaining. what do you think that does to morale.

I have 3 kids in Auburn and they are all doing well in school. I find that the teachers do a great job of communicating and trying to get parents involved with their kids education. They seem to make things work without a huge budget. Close Quote

Seems nice at first. But horrible administration that only cares about your child as a meal ticket for State aid. Economy has tanked here, and the only place to work is the State Maximum Security Prison. They rely heavily on State aid for nearly all their funding even the local government cannot support itself. Village of the Damned is what this place has become... Close Quote
