What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, April 15, 2013

School district is plagued by a school board that does not have the interest of the students at heart. Two school board members are there to insure that property taxes don't go up because they own or they have family that own a large amount of property and that is their soul reason for being on the board. At times the manner in which business is conducted is illegal and when brought to the attention of the proper authorities an excuse is always found in why enforcement actions cannot be taken. Still a system of a good old boy network in who is hired, fired, and let go. I have a special needs child and have had to fight the school every year to see that my child received the proper services to his education. Many parents have pulled their children out of the school district for these reasons and now they attend private school or cyber school. Close Quote
