sounds like our public school system is in big trouble, which was to be expected the way things have been run. Mark ^^^ up above outlined some of the issues. More and more parents are taking their kids out of public schools, as I did 15 years or so ago. Most parents want their kids to learn “reading, writing & ‘rithmatic”, not how to use condoms and that gender is fluid. I’m really glad I don’t have school age kids anymore, but feel sorry for those who do. Not sure anything can be done to save this sinking ship.

I have found that Hanna does not respond to anything. The website tells you to email the superintendent but you NEVER get a response.

Can anyone explain why superintendent Hanna is not the person sending this information to parents? Is it because Hanna does not want to be known for making decisions that are in conflict with the budget crisis that Mr. Joanas wrote about? For instance, superintendent Hanna has six assistant superintendent each making over $100,000 a year. Think about the impact that three additional teachers could have rather than one assistant superintendent by the way if they went away the district would be okay. Maybe others in the district would have to do their job. The budget crisis is one of Mr Hanna’s own making so that he can hire his cronies and continue his vendetta. 6 assistant superintendents hired without interviews Shelley Bell promoted to Lively Technical school because she provided information to Mr. Hanna during the campaign about those who were supporting Mr. Pons. When will the school board act in a transparent manner and hold Mr. Hanna accountable for everything that he has done that harms public education and our employees?

Since the school district is in such a budget crisis can someone explain why the school district pays for administrators to have cell phones? I know it’s so that they can use Facebook during the day and web surf!

By the way great leadership on the part of the curriculum office with 10 schools dropping letter grades numerous D’s an F rated school and yet no one was held accountable in their offices. While no one is held accountable for academic failure we now slice courtesy stops on buses that aren’t filled for the safety of our children. By the way who voted for Rocky Hanna and how did they not see that he would do these things?

In the county “within two miles of a school” can have kids walking on some awful roads!
