Tired of it claims the Times attacked the school board. I do not approve of the Times and their selective reporting, but do you realize how poor the schools are performing after spending 140 million that they promised would fix the problem? Now four schools have failed to meet standards for the second year in a row resulting in school choice for students in those schools. Failure to improve may result in permanent closure of these schools. While the students were left to drown in a substandard curriculum, one board member took two trips to California, back to back, at taxpayer expense. This is comparable to the current rip off scam. And each time the school board meets, whether it last one hour or four hours, the taxpayers fork over $5500 in salarys to the nine members.
