A few weeks out from the $220 million school bond vote, here come the stories of school fires, kids freezing in classrooms, and parts of middle schools completely uninhabitable. There will always be maintenance issues and the need for repair of older buildings.
Let’s see a clear, transparent view into the problems that need to be addressed in the schools that require little or no money such as dwindling enrollment, falling grades and test scores, and violence in classrooms and on school buses. There are a lot more issues for administrators to address before sticking their hands in our pockets for more money.
