oooh Bus, The Magic Bus

The gift that keeps on giving is giving us another expense tonight.

Just a quicknote to let you know that up on tonights agenda is the purchase of a few properties on 2nd St.

Seems our former business manager turned noob board member didn't plan well when he pushed for and got the new and improved bus garage. Apparently there isn't enough room for parking and turnng around. Mind you they do it now on a postage stamp lot.

Prepare to open your cheque books because we've only just begun. Seems our formr business manager forgot that it would also need fencing, an alarm system, and new windows too. It's like Whack-A-Mole. Every time you think you've killed an expense, a new one pops up.

Also on the agenda is a presentation for the NEW POSITION that is now being considered because my fellow board members passed a new GPA to participate in extra curricular activities. Against all administrative recommendations. Because they didn't think this through, they are now going to implement the CYA policy and hire someone to help these kids they blocked from participating. Wow! That sure is being fiscally responsible. Maybe next time they'll think to ask about the cost of one of their cockamamie ideas before they push it through.

Oh that is okay, the taxpayers in this district have plenty of money...we will just pass them another levy when they cry they are broke!

Will the new position be at the elementary level where the children should first be diagnosed and corrected? Or will it be at the high school level as a formality so that amendments can be made saying that students seeking help can get a free pass.

Lets see: the position will report to the athletic director (a close personal friend of former BOE prez Grimes) so what do you think its real purpose will be?

Gunter still refuses to answer the question about her moving plans. But Grimes and Dunphy defended spending taxpayer money to send her to the workshop. Remember that when Dunphy's sitting in the prez seat next fall. Gunter gets hers now but you'd better believe the rest of the law firm will get theirs before this is all over.

And the taxpayers get even more of their money wasted.
