Schools and education are in a severe state pandemonium and school boards need to be on the front line to make sure the educational system is preserved. This will take diligence and the fortitude to stand up to those who are resistant to align themselves with promises made to the children of this State.
Education is not like a business that is losing demand for their product or services. The need for educational services is constant. For many years schools have be bringing this fact to the Senate and House that there has to be adequate and stable funding.
Now the hen has come home to roost. Do not cut funding! Do not cheat this group of kids their right to have a decent education.
