Oh, quit your whining, people! You voted for this! Or didn’t you know that?!?
Along with resignations, how about some of these folks run for school board and other boards and finally put some sense back into things. Or at least try.
Might be able to get a firsthand look at just how far and deep the corruption is, even down the most local level.
Finally realize how bad they’ve been getting ripped off by these crooks. Some of those crooks, being their neighbors.
It is well past time to make the people making these decisions to answer for their crimes.
The Tree of Liberty doesn’t like being thirsty.
While the parents are at it, let them take a good look at the cirriculum.
Just wondering. You may or may not have the answer:
Is the typical elected position on a School Board for a set period of time, say two years, or does it differ with every individual school board?
**Your statement made me think: What if I ever considered running for a local school board? The idea excites me.
But first, I would need to learn more about such positions.
With every religion wanting their place on the calendar, they need a 10-page summary calendar.
Yeah, you STUPID RUBES just don't properly construe what your betters are doing here. Just go back to your little hovels and let us run the schools.
Scene at School District Headquarters....
Aide: There are a lot of biological birthing agents mad about their offspring entities not having the old systemic racist holidays outside. And they don’t like our forward looking race theory curriculum.
School Superintendent: So what? I don’t care what they want.
Aide: They have cylinders with fire and are carrying wood chopping tools and they want to get in here.
Boss: What? You mean angry mothers with lit torches carrying axes are breaking in?
Aide: Exactly.
Boss: Screw all the PC stuff, let’s get our azzes the hell outta here.
I agree with you. I dated an education major in college. Very sweet person but dumber than a bag of hammers without a lick of common sense. I was amazed that she was even admitted to college and dumbfounded when she actually graduated. Saw her at a college reunion a few years ago and found out she teaches high school social studies in Tacoma now. That’s just nuts.
Good for these parents!
I don’t know about Joisy but to the west of the Delaware River (PA) School Directors are elected for staggered 4 year terms.
It is purely volunteer. No compensation.
Also allegedly non-partisan. Candidates may cross file for positions on both the Democrat and Republican primary ballots.
I'm old enough to remember when teachers and educators were respected members of the community.
“...The board added the changes were simply a matter of condensing a 1-page calendar.”
I have no idea. I don’t have kids and I’m of the belief that whoever is on the school board should have some skin in the game....IE...kids in the school.
As for the money being spent, that’s what the county tax assessor and finance people are paid to do.
One thing I have seen though, which boggles my mind, is folks running for school board. They say all the right things. Have good ideas. Want transparency, no underhanded crap and no critical race theory crap. No common core. No ridiculous new way to do math.
Just Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Folks agree with them. They NEVER win.
I think folks are just worn down and accepting of property taxes and school taxes, thinking they can’t do anything about them other than pay them and deduct them from their taxes, that they don’t care.
Everything about the system is wrong. Donald Trump was exposing ALL of it and they got rid of him.
The people who have skin in the game are the taxpayers whose “rent to the government” aka property taxes fund the operation.
Parents are largely gimmedats who want to spend, spend, spend. Nothing is too good or too costly for their kiddos.
A good school board has a balance of taxpayer watchdogs and parents.
It is a pushback. The left wants to selectively replace holidays.
This board said no.
