What people are saying

by a teacher
Wednesday, March 15, 2017

The school board does not support the teachers at Dallas High School. The current board is only concerned about reducing costs, at the expense of teacher and student support, and at the expense of safety and cleanliness issues. The new high school building is only 5 years old, but has constant maintenance issues (no heat, pipes breaking, etc) because everything is put out for low bid without concern about quality.
