If this School Board, Administrators and Teachers want to re-unite this community they will accept pay freezes and even pay cuts and benefit cuts for the next few years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129710636563597736.post-91530238958919058072010-01-17T10:08:20.896-08:002010-01-17T10:08:20.896-08:00PEOPLE READ THIS.

I alot believe that the levy was not fair because most of the (yes) voters do not own homes so it does not affect them. Higher paid teacher's with Master's degrees and with no patience to teach K-6 should not be teaching at this level. The federal testing results prove this. The kids are made to walk around like robots in the schools and the schools won't allow you to drop a child off 5 minutes before 8am or stay after (latch key program) forcing parents to get daycare ($500/month) because they don't want to bother with it so they can go home at 3pm. My 8 yr old attends so I know. I know teachers also, and bus drivers that race around the neighborhood at 35-40mph so they can all be at the school at 8am. Big saftey issue, yes. Should I take a video? Now $38 more a month. Question, can the people put a request/levy on the ballot for voters to reverse a levy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129710636563597736.post-88231915927618085282010-01-13T16:00:00.473-08:002010-01-13T16:00:00.473-08:00What's up with the May ballot entry?What's up with the May ballot entry?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129710636563597736.post-43099334196743245742010-01-11T18:10:00.314-08:002010-01-11T18:10:00.314-08:00Yes we can!

If you do the math the way they did previous to 2001 including unemployed whose benefits have run out and underemployed. The figure would be a true 17% and growing. The continuation of unemployment benefits out to almost 2yrs is also a way to keep the number lower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129710636563597736.post-63874051573245901112009-12-12T04:27:36.144-08:002009-12-12T04:27:36.144-08:00Maybe these Administrators and Teachers should ref...Maybe these Administrators and Teachers should refuse to take their Raises.

I don't personally know anyone on the SWCS board of education, but I do know several members of other school districts' boards of education. Every one of them became, and remains, a member because they want to help their school system be as good as possible. These people who spit out hatred at board members simply because they disagree with some things they have done or views they have are a huge part of the problem with this district. If you don't like someone on the board, vote for their opponent. There is no need to spit out personal attacks. That goes for both sides of this issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129710636563597736.post-26464962715036108932009-12-01T12:13:09.822-08:002009-12-01T12:13:09.822-08:00I think the post above me is hysterical!I think the post above me is hysterical!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-129710636563597736.post-49551038304886685882009-12-01T06:44:44.349-08:002009-12-01T06:44:44.349-08:00I think the person's statement just above me i...I think the person's statement just above me is correct.
