I wasn't implying that 259 is bad because they brought this out.

After 15 years as a political junkie and 8 as a teacher/coach, one theme rings true. If you want money, just say, 'it's for the kids.' It is the oldest political persuasive technique out there. Kiss a baby, trumpet for kids during times of economic crisis, the list goes on and on. How many commercials are out there with Sally Struthers or telethons with Jerry Lewis have we seen to become almost numb to the cause?

You're right, we are on the same side. I'd hate to see the programs lose out. What are the alternatives? I don't know and I don't get paid close to six figures to figure it out. The head AD for the district does though. It should be his job.

There are many things 259 can do to make things run effeciently, as is true with most districts. I hope they figure it out before it's too late.
