Thursday, November 3, 2011

Although the teachers and staff try very hard, they get very little support from the administration and a large segment of the community. The school boeard is only concerned with with money issues.

Although the taxes in this district are consistantly in the bottom 20 of the 670 school districts in New York State, the complaints about school taxes are constant! Close Quote
