For goodness sake. That's sad. |
I don't know that I ever had an individual conversation with her. |
I guess their board didn't see the sense of it - that it didn't make sense to them. |
I'm hoping as Sonny comes out, and the sun is 110 degrees in the shade, he explains how it works when you take local control away from the school board. |
It's a very convenient time to do it. I'd like to remind you again, this is an election year. |
It's another example of how local control has been eroded. |
It's hard to talk about the budget until the Legislature goes home. |
It's time consuming. The thing that concerns me is that the calendar moves. When all the egos have been gilded and all the politics have been done, we really still have children who need to be educated. |
It's time for us to get on with it. |
My hair is getting grayer as we talk. It was unbelievable. Not in my memory have I seen a Legislature sanction laws without regard for the impact of our local schools. We always say, 'this is going to be the toughest budget year we've ever had.' Well, we're there. |
Robert has made a conscientious effort to see that we're informed. He really makes an effort to open up everything. He's been a good addition to our team. |
There are all kinds of relief. To parents, the definition may be enrollment, but to educational programs there may be different definitions. |
There's going to be the happy and unhappy. |
