All Fired Up

So, yeah, after getting an "informational" brochure in the mail today regarding the upcoming levy vote, I finally snapped. I've had enough!

I joined a website for the concerned parents in the district (I can't link to it...privacy ya see) and just let loose.

If the school board wants this levy to pass, they'd better pull their heads out of their you-know-whats and start doing something to earn voter trust.

I have lived in this district for 3 1/2 years, and in that time I have
been told repeatedly (in one instance by a respected local
businessman) that the voting public doesn't trust the school board.
Why hasn't the board tried to find out WHY that is?

And hey, I'll vote in a levy when the board can GUARANTEE they won't
be closing anymore buildings and hiding behind that "holy writ" state
audit to justify what they do. Closing more buildings doesn't help my
children at all!

Frankly, I would like to see the school board address THE CHILDREN OF
THIS DISTRICT and explain to them just why buildings have already been
closed, and just why programs are being cut....without placing the
blame on either the teachers or the parents.

Take this under advisement, Carmichael: 'fess up!

But what I really wanted to say was: "Kiss my big, white arse!"

Oh yeah, did I mention the full page ad in yesterday's paper? Oh sure. For $2600, the school board made the teachers look like greedy pigs. And it isn't even so much about the pay or health insurance; what the teachers are fighting for is their seniority!

What chaps my arse is that no one is allowed to ask questions. Gawd, it's like a bunch of damn Libs, trying to force a feckin' nanny state on us.

Grrrrrr......
