It is not the time to move on. It is the time to become more involved and concerned about what it going on in the district.

Start doing research, start posting your research, start posting the problems you see or experience.

Communication. That is the answer. Unless we voice our concerns and problems, they will be swept under the carpet and the only ones who will really suffer are the children of the district.

The district has been forced through complacency of the general public to make all the decisions and unfortunately, many of those decisions have been down the wrong path.

Even though I am voting no on the levy it is not to take away from the students. Your School Board, Administration and Staff are doing that for you. Not me.

I support the children and the education they deserve and need to carry all of us into the future. My fight has always been for that but has been seen by many as something else.

This levy in november is not for the students and don't let them make you think it is. See it for what it is. It is to insure their payroll and nothing more.

The children will not see any benefits from this levy and it is foolish to think it will. What they say and what they do are two entirely different things.

If they were concerned about your childs safety they would have continued busing and eliminated teaching staff that thinks it is okay to assault your children like one high school teacher has and is back at teaching. I fear for the students in that teachers classroom.

The public should be highly concerned about the children of our community. They should get out and begin following what is going on in our district.

Safety of the students is the number one concern with providing a high quality education as a second.

Our district is grabbing the wrong straws in their decisions and they bank on the complaceny of the public to carry through with these decisions.

Our plight of our district is as much to blame on the public as the district is self.

Passing levies is not the only support that our district needs. It needs the concerned and contributed interest of the public to succeed. Levies alone won't do it. Passing this levy in November will only show the district that we enjoy and welcome ignorance and complacency and that we approve of what the district is doing with our funds.

In these economic times it is the worst thing we could do. Passing the levy will be devasting to many people in our community and this is something we should not let happen.

Reducing the salaries and benefits, outsourcing, the attorney fees and programs that have little or not benefit should have been the first mission of the district rather than the course they have taken.

You cannot risk the security and safety of the children by filling their wallets first. It is a priveledge to teach in our district and it is a priveledge to be an administrator here. When they put themselves first over security and safety then we have a severe problem.

Go to meetings, become a volunteer for the district and press to have changes made. It is our school district. It doesn't belong to the administration, staff or board members. It belongs to the community and it is about time that this community gets off their backside and start becoming involved.

I don't accept the recent assessment that our district is only effective.

It is not the students that we are testing and assessing but the Administation, Staff and Board members when we get these state results. However, the Administration will say they are satisfied and it shows that the levy passing will promote them to stay the course of an inadequate education for our children. I don't believe it and I will not accept it. There are many things we can do to insure the success of a quality education and we haven't even come close to implementing any of them.
