Yet no mention of the abysmal state achievement test scores. Along with the disasterous low amount of graduates attending college, I guess they really don't matter. Much easier for the Board to focus on meaningless bread and circuses issues to please the sheeple. And the Board supports Issue 2. You have to wonder who exactly they are working for, their constituents or the Teachers Union.

We have situations where a kindergarten teacher at Roxboro earns the equivalent of  $130K in a standard 2080 hour work year,  excluding benefits.  And a full pension after 30 years that pays 66% of salary with lifetime benefits. The school board should support the best interests of the students and the community by seeking a fair and affordable cost structure.

The School Board should resign in disgrace. The School Board apparently is the puppet of the Teachers Union rather than looking out for the interests of their taxpaying constituents. Anyone who votes for the school levy should have their heads examined.

I agree. I had even been tempted to start a blog just before this new and "improved"Read More layout. No longer interested in doing that - can't find anything on this patch.

That's odd. I was at the previous meeting, my first - on Global Warming, paid dues for the firstRead More time ever, wrote down my e-mail more than once, and still had no idea there was a meeting was last night.

Diane, for what it's worth, I believe FutureHeights has announced their intention to have a meetingRead More where the community can discuss ideas for Severance.

Along those lines, Diane, I thought an indoor greenhouse would be a good idea. Classes on how toRead More create gardens, grow food, store and preserve food would be an asset to the City.

Diane H. Dreizen & bachtobroadway42 - what interesting ideas! I'd love to see the whole messRead More raised and the area turned into a public park/recreation area with walking trails, bicycle paths, community gardens, etc. It seems the wind turbines could be in a place like that too. That's my dream, but we'll probably get some hideous redundant commercial development instead.

Just ignore them then. The important thing is what we're talking about HERE.
Garry Kanter June 11, 2013 at 05:43 pm
Please join the conversation. The proposed school bond would be a timely starting point!
